Nanotechnology is applied in textiles through different methods, including nanocoatings, embedding nanoparticles, and utilizing nanofibers. For example, silver nanoparticles are incorporated into fabrics to provide antimicrobial properties, while carbon nanotubes can enhance the tensile strength of fibers. These applications can be tailored to meet specific needs, such as water-repellency, UV protection, and even self-cleaning abilities.
