A bottom-up approach (self-assembly processes) is a term used to describe one of two ways to fabricate nanometre size elements of integrated electronic circuits. This is by building nanostructures from atoms and molecules by their precise positioning on a substrate. Read more..

Carbon nanotube – naturally self-organized nanostructure in the form of a tube composed of carbon atoms with completed bonds. There are two general forms, which are single-wall and multiwall nanotubes. Read more..

Fashion tech lab Fashion Tech Lab is a quite new company focused on investing in and developing new technologies and applying them to the fashion industry, while also aiming to make them sustainable solutions, as an aim to meet the sustainability demands of Millennial and new green consumers. Fashion Tech Lab also includes FTL Experimental Laboratory, [...]

Green tribology is a brand new area of technology science, related to tribology, however, crossover with green engineering, chemistry and Nano technology. Tribology or “tribo” (Greek word ) meaning “to rub” is defined as a branch of science and technology concerned with interacting surfaces in relative motion and with associated matters ..Read more..

Information overload is a term used to describe an overflow of information through many different media both digital, radio, TV, Video, newspaper, books, Internet so large that we have problems on an individual level sorting it out so it creates a stress factor and risk that it´s out-dated before making any decisions. Read more.

Molecular manufacturing is a term used to describe an emerging technology that is being developed to build large objects to atomic precision, quickly and cheaply, with virtually no defects. As it becomes more sophisticated, it promises to be an energy-efficient and environmentally benign way to make materials and textiles. Read more..

A biological molecular machine that consumes energy in one form and converts it into motion or mechanical work; for example, many protein-based molecular motors harness the chemical free energy released by the hydrolysis of ATP in order to perform mechanical work. Read more.

Nano-phase material is a general term to describe any material made up of phases that have dimensions of the order of nanometers. An ultrafine single solid phase were at least one dimension is in the nanometre range, usually dimensions are between 1–20 nm Read more..

Nanomaterials are the novel engineered formed materials and fabric’s constructions at the nanometric scale. At nanoscale, completely new and different material property is possible, assembled with extremely accurate measurements at atomic level devices, materials and fabrics that are 100 times stronger than steel. Read more..

The scale of nanotechnology is a general term identified from relate to objects from 1 to 100 nm. Thus a nanosecond is one billionth of one second; a nanometre (nm) is one billionth of one metre, and so on. Objects that can be classified as having something to do with nanotechnology are larger than atoms but much smaller than we can perceive directly with our senses. Read more..

According to the Royal Academy of Engineering (2004), the term nanoscience is defined as “the study of phenomena and manipulation of materials at atomic, molecular, and macromolecular scales, where the properties of materials differ markedly from those at a larger scale.” Read more..

Almost 95% of silver is used in jewellers, photography, silverware and different industrial applications, which include electrical parts such as miniature batteries, bearings, brazing alloys, and photovoltaic cells. Silver is also appreciated known in history as an anti-bacterial agent, already in sixth-century..read more..

Nanotechnology represents the design, characterization, production, and application of structures, devices, and systems, by controlling shape and size of the Nanometre scale.’ Thus, nanotechnology products are those derived from the phenomena and physicochemical characteristics occurring at the dimension of less than 100nm. Read more..

Self-assembly (also called Brownian assembly) is a term used to describe a spontaneous organization of individual pre-existing components into an ordered structure without human or supernatural invention. Read more..

Surface design Surface design is a very important factor in fashion design now and even more in the future due to environmental issues, consumer demands and new technology such as nanotechnology makes it possible to manipulate fabric properties at the textile surface. Surface design can be defined as all design that encompasses colouring, patterning, and [...]
