Abstract Abstract Nanotechnology is an evolving technology, resulting in significant differences in product behavior. Applications of Nano materials in textiles are constantly growing to improve performance and create unparalleled textile functions for their enormous technical, economic and ecological advantages. It is expected that Nano materials will either enhance existing properties or add new functionalities to textiles such as dirt and water repellent, breathability, UV protection, conductive and anti-static properties, wear and wrinkle resistance or stain resistance or bacteria. Due to advancement in manufacturing of Nano materials, a new developed materials specified in the area of protection has been discovered such as; carbon Nano tube (CNT) and Graphene CNT has unique mechanical properties, particularly in improving tensile strength, and is one of the strongest known materials used in high-performance nanocomposites due to their unique mechanical properties. And its properties make it the best to reinforce polymers and have a great potential for use in the manufacture of ballisticresistant materials. Graphene is an allotrope of carbon that exists as a two dimensional sheet. graphene is as a single layer of graphite, where all the carbons exist in a regular hexagonal array, it’s the first two dimensional materials to be available. It is both the lightest known substance and the strongest ever produced. The ability to be solid, strong and flexible at the same time gives this incredible potential for use as a body armor or shielding. Hematite (Iron III Oxide) Nanoparticles were applied to cotton fabrics. The treatment enhanced the mechanical properties of treated samples. The treated samples were measure according to testing standards for sq.m, thickness and CBR test. |
