Nanotechnology can provide high durability for fabrics, because nano-particles have a large surface area-to-volume ratio and high surface energy, thus presenting better affinity for fabrics and leading to an increase in durability of the function. In addition, a coating of nano-particles on fabrics will not affect their breathability or hand feel. The fibers which have additional enhanced properties due to the use of nanoparticles are called nanofibers. Nanofibers are produced by electro-spinning and split spinning methods. Metal ions and static electricity play a crucial role in enhancing the fiber properties in nanofibers. The incorporated nanoparticles energize and activate the surface particles. 1.
