The ways of using the nanometer material to give the textile fabric some function is listed and compared in this article. In the early research, first the nanometer material preparation is alone carries on. And then using this to make the finishing agent. Finally put the agent on the fabric by finishment. At present, people combine the preparation of nanometer material and finishing agent together, and then cover this on fabric through the normal finishment. Recentlly research the trend is to compact the three steps to one step, completing the nanometer material preparation, the finishment agent production and the finishing process at the time. Various examples are given in this artile. At the end, some reserches about cotton fiber hole structure are listed, which has implicited a new way to take advantage of nanometer merterial and a bright future about a new type cotton fiber.

Fiber-based materials in technical applications are an increasing worldwide market and cover a wide area. Numerous textile materials are integrated in automotive systems being responsible there for many functions within important fields like safety, comfort or light weight.
The inorganic nanometer material dispersion will fix on the textile, enable the textile to have each kind of function, will be the various countries material study and textile industry's expert continuously in diligently with the attention and hot spot.
2. Domestic and foreign research progress In the early research, the nanometer material preparation is alone carries on, then a nanometer granule will disperse to the spinning fluid in uses altogether mixes the spinning preparation chemical fiber, or the nanometer material granule will disperse to the finishing agent, through soak rolls and the nanometer coating is attaching to the textile fiber product on, the implants also is used to implant a nanometer material into the textile fiber.
Altogether mixes the spinning method development the function textile fiber mainly to have: The antibacterial chemical fiber, the far infrared linear chemical fiber, the fire-resisitant textile fiber, the regeneration adjusts the warm textile fiber, shines the textile fiber, the electric conduction textile fiber and so on. With altogether will mix the nanometer granule to join in the textile fiber, the existence question mainly will be its easy reunion. The inorganic nanometer particle reunion not only has affected the nanometer material function display, moreover becomes the important restriction factor, which the influence spinning smoothly carries on. In order to solve this problem, generally is disperses a nanometer granule into the mother granule, again uses the mother granule altogether to mix the systerm with the textile fiber spinning fluid to produce a high polymer/nanometer granule the complex fiber.
At present, generally uses the fabric finishment for natural. The main method includes: soak rolls and the nanometer coating . Nanometer addictive The soak rolls with nanometer addictive is suitable for putting on the soft fabric to the request. The nanometer coating is joins right amount nanometer in the coating, after drying and the essential heat treatment, forms a thin film in the fabric surface. The coating law adapts broadly to the textile fiber type, processing cost low, but the fastness of wash-resistant and the handles of fabric are bad.
The Xia men China Hua Pu high-tech industry limited company studies one kind of one’s own appropriation technology, (Yinqing Wu, 2000) called for implants, the nanometer ceramic powder body implants in the textile fiber, and fixed effectivly, this method may use in the natural fiber also to be allowed to use in the chemical fiber. The Yongli Chen and other person has studied the feasibility of implanting several kind of nanometer granules into the PET chemical fiber,
Modern Applied Science February, 2009
the findings indicated that, In the sol the nanometer granule of carbon black, Fe (OH) 3 and natural ore powder at130 ćcan enter the PET amorphous region, at the low temperature can permanent solidify. During implants, the size of implanted the nanometer granule particle is limited by the fibrous material aperture size, the nanometer granule reunion question also need to solve during the implanting process.

ITV Denkendorf focuses on nano structures and nano particles in textile development and processing by finishing systems as well as electro spinning and bi-component technologies. One subject of current interest is the generation of nano scaled textiles by spinning of nanofibers using electro spinning to meet the increasing request for filter media with high filter efficiency in the sub-micrometer range. The demand is based on the need for the filtration of airborne aerosols and nanoparticles as well as on the request for an effective barrier effects against bacteria ( less than or equal 0.3 μm), viruses and other microorganisms. The filtration efficiency can be increased by fiber diameter reduction. Fibers in the nanometer scale were produced among others using solutions of polyacrylonitrile PAN and polyimide. At ITV Denkendorf provisions to increase the productivity in electro spinning are under investigation.
