#Gold nanoparticle Coating on Cotton Fibers Can Help Kill Bacteria Juan Hinestroza and his students live in a cotton-soft nano world,
where they create clothing that kills bacteria, conducts electricity, wards off malaria, captures harmful gas and weaves transistors into shirts and dresses. otton is one of the most fascinating and misunderstood materials,
said Hinestroza, associate professor of fiber science, who directs the Textiles Nanotechnology Laboratory at Cornell. n a nanoscale world
and that is our world we can control cellulose-based materials one atom at a time. The Hinestroza group has turned cotton fibers into electronic components such as transistors and thermistors
so instead of adding electronics to fabrics, he converts the fabric into an electronic component. reating transistors
and other components using cotton fibers brings a new perspective to the seamless integration of electronics
and textiles, enabling the creation of unique wearable electronic devices, Hinestroza said. Taking advantage of cotton irregular topography, Hinestroza and his students added conformal coatings of gold nanoparticles,
as well as semiconductive and conductive polymers to tailor the behavior of natural cotton fibers. he layers were so thin that the flexibility of the cotton fibers is preserved always,
Hinestroza said, ibers are everywhere from your underwear, pajamas, toothbrushes, tires, shoes, car seats, air filtration systems and even your clothes.
Abbey Liebman 0 created a dress using conductive cotton threads capable of charging an iphone.
With ultrathin solar panels for trim and a USB charger tucked into the waist, the Southwest-inspired garment captured enough sunshine to charge cell phones
and other handheld devices allowing the wearer to stay plugged in. The technology may be embedded into shirts to measure heart rate
or analyze sweat, sewn into pillows to monitor brain signals or applied to interactive textiles with heating and cooling capabilities. revious technologies have achieved similar functionalities,
but those fibers became rigid or heavy, unlike our yarns, which are friendly to further processing, such as weaving, sewing and knitting,
Hinestroza said. Synthesizing nanoparticles and attaching them to cotton not only creates color on fiber surfaces without the use of dyes,
but the new surfaces can efficiently kill 99.9 percent of bacteria, which could help in warding colds, flu and other diseases.
Two of Hinestroza students created a hooded bodysuit embedded with insecticides using metal organic framework molecules,
or MOFS to fend off malarial mosquitoes. Malaria kills more than 600,000 people annually in Africa. While insecticide-treated nets are common in African homes
the antimalarial garment can be worn during the day to provide extra protection and does not dissipate like skin-based repellants.
Other students have used MOFS to create a mask and hood capable of trapping toxic gases in a selective manner.
MOFS, which are clustered crystalline compounds, can be manipulated at the nano level to build nanoscale cages that are the exact same size as the gas they are trying to capture. e wanted to harness the power of these molecules to absorb gases
and incorporate these MOFS into fibers, which allows us to make very efficient filtration systems,
Hinestroza always looks for new ways to employ cotton as a canvas for creating infinite modern uses. e want to transform traditional natural fibers into true engineering materials that are multifunctional

Kathryn believes that new research integrating electronics directly into the fabric of clothing could move us a step closer to this smart technology.
Smart textiles, which allow accurate and reliable electronic sensors to be built into everyday clothing, could be the solution.
In the article, Kathryn talks about research she's currently involved in at NPL and Coventry University, printing conductive circuits directly onto the fibres of garments.
This allows complex circuits to be printed onto clothing, which still perform after stretching and washing.

Another suit, designed by the US ARMY, features a high-pressure hydraulic system to enhance a soldier strength, agility and endurance.
Called the Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (Talos it effectively gives its wearer superpowers, such as superhuman strength and a way of deflecting bullets,
Two years ago, the US Special Operations Command (Ussocom) called on scientists to develop a suit reminiscent of the version seen in the Iron man films that uses nanotechnology
The suit would also give people Superman-like powers, such as being bulletproof and this is expected to build on work by an MIT professor who is currently developing'liquid armour'.
CLIMBING WALLS AND SPIDER SENSEWHILE we will have to wait for suits that give humans the powers of Iron man and Superman,
The gloves use the same natural molecular forces that allow gecko lizards to walk on ceilings-hairs on their feet that create an electrostatic force known as Van der waals. This force causes neighbouring molecules to be attracted to each other.
A suit invented by engineers at the University of Illinois gives wearers 360-degree awareness of the environment around their body.
The suit, built by Victor Mateevitsi, uses small robotic arms connected to an ultrasonic sonar system.
When the suit's microphones pick up ultrasonic reflections from objects, the arms respond by pressing down on the wearer's body
The suit has seven such modules so that the wearer has as close to 360 degrees of ultrasonic sonar coverage as possible.
