Researches for nanotechnology are inherently multidisciplinary since on the biological, and chemical components and systems are essentially the same. As the synthetics develop, many people are concerned about the influences of natural environment and hygiene of manufactures. By this reason, a new area has developed in the realism of textile finishing. The aim of this work is to consolidate nanotechnology into bacteriostasis of textile. (omitted)

Recently, organic-inorganic nanocomposites have attracted great interest from researchers since they frequently exhibit unexpected hybrid properties synergistically derived from two components[1]. The addition of highly dispersed inorganic nano-sized fillers permits improvement of certain properties of polymers as compared with conventional particulate composites; increase of modulus and strength, improved barrier properties, increase in solvent and heat resistance, and good optical properties[2].

Recently, the works about antibacterial finishing have been actively investigated in textile industry because of increasing environmental pollution. Wool can easily be an medium for microorganisms growth under proper temperature and humid condition. These microorganisms can result in damages, skin irritations, and infections in wool products. For this reason, the wool materials must be protected against microorganisms in order to suppress their growth and dissemination as well as fiber damage. (omitted)

The rapid development of smart textiles requires the large-scale fabrication of conductive fibers. In this study, we develop a simple, scalable and low-cost capillary-driven self-assembly method to prepare conductive fibers with uniform morphology, high conductivity and good mechanical strength. Fiber-shaped flexible and stretchable conductors are obtained by coating highly conductive and flexible silver nanowires (Ag NWs) on the surfaces of yarn and PDMS fibers through evaporation-induced flow and capillary-driven self-assembly, which is proven by the in situ optical microscopic observation. The density of Ag NWs and linear resistance of the conductive fibers could be regulated by tuning the assembly cycles. A linear resistance of $1.4{\Omega}/cm$ could be achieved for the Ag NWs-coated nylon, which increases only 8% after 200 bending cycle, demonstrating high flexibility and mechanical stability. The flexible and stretchable conductive fibers have great potential for the application in wearable devices.

This study presents reasonable relationships to estimate the deformation based on beam mechanism analysis and TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry) data. To declar the length points of co-axial cable installed in civil structure, Nano material ($BaTiO_3$ powders and silver mixture) is used on co-axial cables. From the laboratory test, nano material could make the correct information about attached cable points on beam, and TDR sensor system and Fourier series (data filter) found out the deformation of beam. Therefore it is concluded that the correct deformed information of beam were acquired by Nano-TDR and Fourier filter, they are much more effective to apply at health monitoring system in civil structure compared to conventional TDR or Fiber Optic Sensor (FOS) systems.

In this paper, we proposed the planar textile resonator for constructing wearable MR-WPT system and analyzed the characteristic of textile substrates used in resonators. The planar textile resonators were designed to resonate at 1-10 MHz. The loop and coil were fabricated planar structure on textile substrate using conductive materials. Polyester fiber and cotton widely used in real life were chosen as textile resonators for wearable applications and copper tape and silver paste were used for fabricating planar loop and coil on textile substrate. For comparison analysis on transfer efficiency according to the types of textile, transmitter and receiver parts were symmetric. According to the result, for the highest transfer efficiency of wearable WPT system, the planar resonators have specifications of relative thick textile substrate with low permittivity and low surface resistance of conductive pattern. The performed experiments show that the planar textile resonator is possible to be used for resonator in wearable MR-WPT system.

Lithium metal has garnered attention as a promising anode active material thanks to its high specific capacity, energy density, and the lowest reduction potential. However, the formation of dendrites, dendritic crystals that arise during the charge and discharge process, has posed safety and lifetime stability challenges. To resolve this, our study has introduced a novel separator design. This separator features a composite coating of vapor-grown carbon fiber, a conductive material in nanofibers, and silver. We have meticulously studied the impact of this innovative separator on the electrochemical properties of the lithium metal anode, unveiling promising results. To confirm the synergistic effect of VGCF and Ag, a separator with no surface treatment and a separator with only VGCF coated on one side were prepared and compared with the Ag-VGCF-separator. In the case of the bare separator, the Li metal surface is covered with dendrites during the initial charge and discharge process. In contrast, both the VGCF-separator and the Ag-VGCF-separator show Li precipitation inside the conductive coating layer coated on the separator surface. Additionally, the Ag-VGCF-separator showed a more uniform precipitate shape than the VGCF-separator. As a result, the Ag-VGCF-separators show improved electrochemical properties compared to the bare separators and the VGCF-separators.
