Description :
Nanotechnology is considered as one of the most promising technologies for the 21st century. This technology overcomes the drawback of applying traditional methods to impart certain properties to textile materials. There is no hesitation that in the upcoming years, nanotechnology will break through into every vicinity of the textile industry. Application of NiO nanoparticles in modern textile lies in areas where innovative principles will be combined into long-lasting, multifunctional textile structures without compromising the intrinsic textile properties including aesthetic, breathability, flexibility etc. The current condition of NiO nanoparticles used in textiles area is reviewed with an emphasis on improving various properties of textiles.
From the current state-of-the-art, it is clear that nanotechnology applications are expected to bring a range of benefits to the food sector aiming at providing better quality and conservation. The last decade has witnessed the development and arrival of novel nano-based food materials, innovative food packaging, intelligent delivery mechanisms of nutrients and bioactive materials, implementation of green nanotechnologiesfor crop production and nano-biosensors to provide safer foods and waste reduction. Opportunities to exploit and develop nanotechnologies in the food sector have resulted in a large number of patents as food technologists and engineers continue to identify novel ways to re-invent food products that would appeal to consumers on a global scale. This article will review the applications of NiO nanoparticles in modern textile and food science technology.
