Application of Nanotechnology in Medical Textiles & its Impact on Environment
Journal Title: REST Journal on Emerging trends in Modelling and Manufacturing - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Nanotechnology is a budding field with a wide range of applications into a number of spheres. One of these applications is the use of Nanotechnology in the field of Medical Textiles. The most common use is the use of fibers treated with the Nano synthesized materials so as to enhance the antimicrobial activity of the fibers. The nanomaterial has both positive and negative impacts on the environment and its organisms. In the present paper, the application of Nanotechnology in Medicated Textiles & the footprints it leave on the environment have been discussed. The impact of nanotechnology on environment can be described into two main aspects: Innovation in Nanotechnologies helpful to improve the environment, another aspect is the type of pollution that Nano technological materials might cause if released into the environment. Hence, there is a need of researches to be carried out to optimize the use of nanotechnology which will prove to be beneficial for the environment & its organisms.
