Abstract
Characterization Methods of Nano Textile Materials
Nano materials are being used in textile finishing to impart functional properties to the fabrics. This paper deals with the characterization aspect of important nano materials used in textile finishing, viz., titanium dioxide, silver oxide and zinc oxide. Each type of nano material produces its own distinct effect on the fabrics so treated. Various techniques are being used for characterizing the nano particles. These are discussed in detail in this paper. The characterization techniques enable to study the surface characteristics of treated fabrics and also measure the nano particle size.
