“…In addition, the strong magnetic property of the core/shell Fe 3 O 4 microspheres helps in the separation and collection of Cu 2+ ions using a commercial magnet. Lim et al (2010) grew uniformly, radially oriented and densely packed zinc oxide nanorods on fiber to form a conductive fabric having robustness against stress and washing cycles. The nontoxic conductive fabric showed excellent multiple sensing (gas and optical) performances at room temperature applicable for healthcare, military, and environmental applications.…”

Nanocomposites have attracted a huge amount of interest due to their improved mechanical properties, dimensional stability, thermal/chemical stability, and electrical conductivity. Nanostructures are found to be of great significance because of their inherent properties such as large surface area to volume ratio and the engineered properties such as porosity, stability, and permeability. Composite material can achieve multifunctionality by combining the relevant, desirable features of different materials to form a new material having a broad spectrum of desired properties. These properties include liquid/gas sensing, self-repair nano/microstructure, catalysis initiator/inhibitor, as well as biomedical engineering. In this article, the nano/microcomposites are critically analyzed against the combination of functionalities i.e. mechanical, optical, chemical, electrical, and thermal properties. This review specifically presents a narrative summary on the use of multifunctional nanomaterials for energy as well as environmental applications, along with a discussion on some critical challenges existing in the fields.

“…Moreover in 2010 the growth of ZnO nanorods has been performed directly on fabric in an easy, low cost, temperature and scalable process [27]. Even in this case a zinc oxide seed layer have been deposited, by sputtering, and the nanorods were prepared by hydrothermal technique with a growth solution containing an equimolar aqueous mixture of zinc nitrate, hexamethylenetetramine and poly(ethylenimine).…”

Metal oxide nanowires are very promising active materials for different applications, especially in the field of gas sensors. Advances in fabrication technologies now allow the preparation of nanowires on flexible substrates, expanding the potential market of the resulting sensors. The critical steps for the large-scale preparation of reliable sensing devices are the elimination of high temperatures processes and the stretchability of the entire final device, including the active material. Direct growth on flexible substrates and post-growth procedures have been successfully used for the preparation of gas sensors. The paper will summarize the procedures used for the preparation of flexible and wearable gas sensors prototypes with an overlook of the challenges and the future perspectives concerning this field.

“…In modern textronics applications, textile products can be used not only as protective (for instance from electromagnetic fields) or carrier materials, but also as components of electronic devices. Currently, there are no commercially available textronics products on the market but extensive research has been carried out as shown in the literature reports on new textronics products [3,4].…”

Silver and gold nanoparticles have been linked with the structure of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers as a result of a synthesis. The nanoparticles were formed in the dimethylformamide (DMF) solution, which is uncommon for their synthesis, but is a typical solvent for polyacrylonitrile. The examination of metallic nanoparticles doped fibers showed the presence of these particles in the samples. Analysis of Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDX) results showed that silver content in the fibers was the same as in the precursors of metal ions. The amount of silver in the fibers was significantly greater than the amount of gold in the corresponding sample. The Dynamic Light Scattering Method (DLS) and Visible and Ultraviolet Spectroscopy (UV-Vis) analyses indicated a difference between the sizes of metallic nanoparticles. The obtained composite polyacrylonitrile fibers doped with silver and gold nanoparticles were characterized by high flexibility and reduced electromagnetic radiation. The authors are convinced that the results obtained during the research will considerably contribute to the development of textronics discipline.
