2. Introduction
• Nanotechnology originates from the Greek word
meaning “dwarf”. A nanometer is one billionth (10-9)
of a meter, which is tiny, only the length of ten
hydrogen atoms, or about one hundred thousandth
of the width of a hair!
3. objectives
• To study the application of nanotechnology in
textile and fashion industry
• Sub objective
• Use of nanotechnology and different kind of
finishes in it
• Scope of nanotechnology in Indian industry.
4. background
•The regular fashion is known to people but when
technology applies to normal fashion it becomes
different, my key to make this project is to make aware
of these technologies.
• in Indian market what is the scope of nanotechnology
•To understand nanotextile we must first explore
nanotechnology which enables the manipulation of
fibers at the level of atoms and molecules to alter their
properties and qualities.
5. Literature review
• In simple terms, nanotechnology can be defined as ‘engineering at a very small
scale’, and this term can be applied to many areas of research and development – from
medicine to manufacturing to computing, and even to textiles and cosmetics.
• There is much debate on the future implications of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology
may be able to create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications
• The use of engineered nanofibers already makes clothes water- and stain-repellent or
wrinkle-free. Textiles with a nanotechnological finish can be washed less frequently and
at lower temperatures.
• Nanotechnology has been used to integrate tiny carbon particles membrane and
guarantee full-surface protection from electrostatic charges for the wearer.
• Socks that prevent odor, pants that do not hold dirt, t-shirts that can change mobile
phones; it is not just science-fiction anymore but a part of today’s reality thanks to
ever-developing nanotechnology
6. • The Indian government has already started
Nanoscience and Nanotechnology initiatives
and various funding agencies like the
Department of Science and Technology.
• Nano product never get wet.
• The embryo of nanotechnology is "atomic
assembly", which was first publicly articulated
in 1959 by physicist Richard Feynman.
7. METHODOLOGY
• Research approach: Qualitative approach
• Type of research: descriptive
Steps in Research Process:
1. Formulating the Research Problem
• To identify the way in which nanotechnology can be used or
is being used in Indian fashion industry.
2. Extensive Literature Review
3. Developing the objectives
8. • 4. Preparing the Research Design including Sample Design
• Sampling Design:
(i) Population: the people who are owners of and who is
associated in textile mills in Hyderabad & Ahmadabad
(ii)Sampling Method: A convenience method is more
appropriate way of arriving at the sample as I have to select
approachable mills owners who are using nanotechnology and
different kind of finishes applied by them
• Sample size:
For owner perception – 50
•
9. Scope of minor project
• Through this project people can know how the
nanotechnology will become helpful in textile industry.
• In India what is the market of this technology.
• Nanotechnology application and scope are tremendous.
There are very expanding opportunities in this field and this
field have raises impact on daily lives.
• The Indian government has already started Nanoscience and
Nanotechnology initiatives and various funding agencies like
the Department of Science and Technology.
10. Limitation of the study
• The sample was geographically limited and
the age range was narrow. Data collected in
other areas may produce different results.
• particular area this can’t represent the real
picture of the population.
• The instrument was limited to a qualities
method.

16. conclusion
• Respondent like to purchase more nano product.
• Many of them want they dream product through
nano technology.
• Industry believe that it is profitable market.
• Nanoproduct perform better compare to other
product.
• Nanotechnology has answers for each of these
problematic issues.
