Adhering nanoparticles of iron oxide to nylon fiber is done in three ways: electrospraying, which facilitates uniform nanoparticle placement in the fibers;
Trejo explained. ou would want the nanoparticles to stay on the Nylon 6 membranes so the material can have function throughout the life use.

#USDA Scientists, International Colleagues Sequence Upland cotton Genome U s. Department of agriculture (USDA) scientists and their partners have sequenced the genome of the world most widely cultivated and genetically complex species of cotton,
a milestone that will make it easier to address increasing threats to cotton by tapping into its natural defenses.
Sequencing the genome of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) will help breeders develop varieties of cotton that are equipped better to combat the pests,
Cotton growers have experienced a plateau in yields since the early 1990s and most commercial varieties lack genetic diversity, making cotton vulnerable to natural threats.
The findings will help researchers and breeders in the years ahead develop cotton varieties with improved fiber qualities, higher yields and more tolerance to heat, drought and diseases anticipated due to climate change.
Cotton is grown on 12 million acres in 17 states and is a $6 billion crop in the United states. here is untapped a vast
reservoir of genes in wild cotton plants that could offer us stronger and more effective defenses to the numerous challenges faced by cotton growers.
Sequencing of a genetic standard in cotton gives us the roadmap to identify and tap into that reservoir of genetic variability,
said Chavonda Jacobs-Young, administrator of the USDA Agricultural research service (ARS. ARS is USDA principal intramural scientific research agency.
because several of the scientists involved in today studies recently sequenced the two arentspecies of most commercial cotton varietiesn Old world cultivated cotton and a New world wild cotton.

The shoes are the first illustration of a new method of weaving in three dimensions created by Nigerian American industrial designer Oluwaseyi Sosanya.
Sitting somewhere between the traditional art of weaving and the recent home availability of 3d printers,
Sosanya has created a way to weave materials such as wool and cotton in three dimensions before they are sealed to maintain a rigid structure.
The method he said, could be applied to protective clothing in sports, for making bulletproof vests and in constructing buildings.
It was with this in mind that he found himself in Huddersfield talking to veteran weavers in mills who explained to him in detail the traditional ways of weaving cloths.
Lengthwise yarns the warp are interwoven over and under with yarns called the weft. But what was not being done was weaving in three dimensions
nor was it being done seemingly by anyone else, according to patent research. Back in London, Sosanya had learned to weave
and used his background in mechanical engineering and computer programming to handbuild a machine which guides yarn in set patterns over layers to create the 3d shapes such as those used on the soles of the navy shoes he created.
Above those tubes is a mechanised eederwhich winds the fabric for example cotton around them in shapes dictated by a set pattern programmed into a computer.
The tubes act as scaffolding for the grid of fabric to be built on top. To make the structure rigid
the thread is coated in silicone which then solidifies. When the desired shape is completed, the tray at the bottom of the machine is slid out and the mesh
Where traditional weaving has the warp and the weft, Sosanya has replaced the warp with the rigid tubes
As there is one continuous piece of thread which is used through the whole structure, further strength is added.
Different fabrics can be used at different stages of the weave and the density and pattern can be altered throughout,
Sosanya is now investigating how the new method of weaving could be used practically. Custom-made shoes are one of the first potential uses. ou have all of these opportunities now where you can do customisation around footwear,
a patent-pending technology that uses a growing organism and byproducts from food production (oat hulls from New york, cotton hulls from Texas and rice hulls from Arkansas) to create a strong composite material.

#Environmentally friendly lignin nanoparticle'greens'silver nanobullet to battle bacteria Abstract: Silver nanoparticles have antibacterial properties,
#Self-Cleaning Woolen Fabrics Produced in Iran Woolen products are very good sources for the growth of bacteria and microorganisms due to their protein structure,
This objective was achieved by creating a homogenous coating made of a nanocomposite of zinc oxide/nitrogen silver (N-Ag/Zno) on the fabrics.
the processing of the woolen fabric samples by using optimum amount of honeycomb nanocomposite such as N-Ag/Zno improves the biological, mechanical and hydrophilicity of the fabrics.
Among the other advantages of the use of this nanocomposite in the production of fabrics, mention can be made of creating a delay in flammability,
Ultrasonic bath has been used in the finishing process of the fabrics. By using the bath the process is carried out in one stage at low temperature at shorter time.
Finally, the abovementioned properties are created in the final product by processing of the woolen fabrics with the nanocomposite.
#Nanotechnology transforms cotton fibers into modern marvel (Nanowerk News) Juan Hinestroza and his students live in a cotton-soft nano world,

But scientists have developed now a novel nanowire coating for clothes that can both generate heat
and trap the heat from our bodies better than regular clothes. They report on their technology,
breathable mesh materials that are flexible enough to coat normal clothes. When compared to regular clothing material,
the special nanowire cloth trapped body heat far more effectively. Because the coatings are made out of conductive materials,
The researchers calculated that their thermal textiles could save about 1 000 kilowatt hours per person every year--that's about how much electricity an average U s. home consumes in one month h
as well as miniature NS honeycomb cells, from nylon using selective laser sintering for experimentation. NS honeycombs can be made from a variety of materials to suit distinct applications.
In addition, PLA is biocompatible and thus suitable for medical use, for instance in absorbable suture threads.
