Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary and comprehensive frontier field. Application of nanotechnology in sports clothing and flooring for enhanced sport activities, performance, efficiency and comfort has increased tremendously during the last decade. The nanomaterial have been widely used in the stadium, sports turf, track, sports, apparel, sports equipment and sports supplements. With the coming of the nano era, nanotechnology will have far-reaching impact of human life. The desire for sport products with enhanced performance and efficiency has been known for many years and nanotechnology has opened new routes for the production of functional sportswear. An overview on the applications of nanofinishing in the making of different sportswear has been done exhaustively. Some of the important features imparted into sport apparels by nanofinishing are also thoroughly discussed. |
