How does Nanotechnology Enhance Antimicrobial Fabrics?
Nanotechnology enhances antimicrobial fabrics by incorporating nanoparticles with antimicrobial properties directly into the textile fibers. These nanoparticles can include silver nanoparticles, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and copper oxide. The nanoscale size of these particles increases their surface area, enhancing their interaction with microbes and providing better antimicrobial efficacy.
