Nano-particles on fabric or textile
View Patent ↗Systems and methods for fabricating a wash durable material includes forming a substrate having strands with void spaces in the strands and between the strands; filling at least a part of the void spaces with nano-particles; and forming projections on the substrate.
1. A wash durable material, comprising:
a substrate having strands with void spaces inside the strands; and
nano-particles inside the strands filling at least a part of the void with one or more projections from the void spaces through the strands on the substrate, wherein the nano-particles are used with one or more of a metal, a solar cell compound, an interconnect compound, antenna compound, an electronic compound.
2. The material of claim 1 wherein said substrate comprises one of: an individual yarn, a textile, a fabric, a film.
3. The material of claim 1 wherein the nano-particles comprise one of: an antimicrobial compound, a fireproofing compound, an insulating compound, an anti-odor compound.
4. The material of claim 1 wherein the nano-particles comprise one or more sensors to capture patient data.
5. The material of claim 1 wherein the nano-particles comprise:
one or more of: an antimicrobial compound, a fireproofing compound, an insulating compound, an anti-odor compound; and
one or more of: a conductor, a solar cell compound, an interconnect compound, antenna compound, an electronic compound.
6. The material of claim 1 , wherein the nano-particles comprise one of: silver, gold, aluminum.
7. The material of claim 1 , wherein the nano-particles comprise a non-metal.
8. The material of claim 1 , wherein the nano-particles substantially remain after the substrate is washed at least 40 times in accordance with the wash procedure of AATCC Test Method 130-1981.
9. The material of claim 1 , wherein at least 80% of the nano-particles remain after the substrate is washed at least 40 times in accordance with the wash procedure of AATCC Test Method 130-1981.
10. The material of claim 1 , wherein the projections are self-assembled.
11. The material of claim 1 , wherein the nano-particles contract at a predetermined temperature.
12. The material of claim 1 , wherein the nano-particles expand at a predetermined temperature.
13. The material of claim 1 , wherein each projection provides a space between the material and dirt to allow water to easily remove the dirt.
14. The material of claim 1 , comprising a first portion to absorb water and a second portion to repel water and wherein the first portion wicks moisture from skin and the second portion repels moisture from the material.
15. A wash durable material, comprising:
a substrate having strands with void spaces in the strands and between the strands; and
nano-particles filling at least a part of the void spaces and forming one or more projections on the substrate; and
a sensor coupled to a transmitter coupled to an antenna to form a wearable patient monitoring system.
16. A method for fabricating a wash durable material, comprising:
forming a substrate having strands with void spaces in the strands;
filling at least a part of the void spaces with nano-particles; and
forming projections from the void spaces through the substrate, wherein the nano-particles comprise sensors to collect patient data.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein said substrate comprises one of: an individual yarn, a textile, a fabric, a film.
18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the nano-particles comprise an antimicrobial compound, a fireproofing compound, an insulating compound, an anti-odor compound, solar cell compound, interconnect compound, antenna compound, electronic compound.
