Nanotechnology can be applied to clothing to add antibacterial properties. Antibacterial fabrics work by either destroying bacterial proteins using nanoparticles like silver, or activating photoelectric materials like TiO2 with light to produce electrons and holes that kill bacteria. Nanoparticles can also be added to fabrics to improve insulation or water absorption properties. Additional applications of nanotechnology discussed include new types of genetically modified foods, self-cleaning paints and surfaces, antibacterial household products, and stealth aircraft materials that absorb infrared and radar waves to avoid detection.

3. Dust, sweat and other
secretionmay stick to our
clothes .These sewage
may cause the
development of dif f erent
kinds of microbes which
will give of f bad smell
and f inally lead to
dermatitis and other skin
diseases.

nanotechnology) into the

4. There are two methods widely used:
1.Destroy the structure of
bacterial or virus’ protein
.
Usually precious metals
such as silver can do this
by exchange of molecules.
Since nano- materials are
very small , they can
dif fuse easily and act
ef f iciently so they can
used as antibiotic.
2.Use photoelectric
material.
For example, TiO2 can
produce holes and
electronics when activated
by light with specif ic
wavelength, this will lead

nanoparticles have strong
ability of absorbing

body. So we can add these
particles into clothing

With nanotechnology, we can mash cellulose into
monosaccharide, glucos and cellobiose, thus many
organics can be used as nutritive substance.
With nanotechnology, we can manipulate some
nucleotides in DNA or even rearrange several
atoms to produce new genetic foods.

7. New decorated houses are f illed with harmful gas
such as formaldehyde or methylbenzene. some of
them are blastomogens.
While nanomaterials can degradation those harmful
gas in the air ， such as nano- TiO2, it has high
degradation rate and it can turn those harmful gas
into CO2, H2O and organic acid.

8. Traditional paint can’t maintain for a long time
and can not be washed too of ten . While newly
produced paint with nanotechnology has good
qualities . The painted wall can be washed for
ten thousand times or even more which has
improved by ten times.
Glass and ceramic tile painted with nano- coating
can be self - cleaning. With nano- materials’ catalysis
, any particles sticking to the glass or ceramic tile
including greasy dirt and bacterial will turn into
gases or something that can be wiped easily under
the sunshine.

11. Stealth aircraft: can not be detected easily by radar
 Reasons：
nano- particles are far
smaller than that of the
infrared and radar’s
wavelength. Supersonic wave
can pass through them with
little or even no ref lection.
 Nano- particles have high
