When used in textiles, nanoparticles of silica can help to create fabrics that repel water and other liquids. Silica can be added to fabrics either by being incorporated into the fabric’s weave or sprayed onto the surface of the fabric to create a waterproof or stainproof coating. So if you’ve ever noticed how liquid forms little beads on waterproof clothing – beads that simply roll off the fabric rather than being absorbed – that’s thanks to nanotechnology.

Advantages:
Allows for the control of crystal structure, improved mechanical properties, improved resistance to chemicals, microbes, flame, and heat, improved electrical properties, improved coloration ability, and self-cleaning clothing.

Disadvantages:
Nanoparticles are largely untested, barely regulated, and may pose serious risks to your health and the Earth.

This glue used molecular chains to bond molecules that do not bond well together, this was discovered by U.S. researchers.

-Advantage: it is capable of repearing and bonding stuff easily than other products, this aids in making this process easier.

-Disadvantage: Tjis could be also considered to be an advantage, but the glue requires hot temperatures in order to function better. The hotter it is the better it works; therefore, if you don´t have access to a microwave or a heater the glue would work differently.

The nanotechnology used,  although by using triacetate and cellulose bimorph fibers coated with thin carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Both fibers attract and repel water, which means that they collapse into a bundle when placed in a hot and humid environment. When this happens, the carbon nanotubes come closer, which induces an electromagnetic coupling and boosts their ability to dissipate heat, also known as emissivity. Conversely, when the temperatures are lower, the fibers expand and prevent heat dissipation.
Pros: Great quality with an advanced technology for maintaining great temperature in your body.
Cons: A little expensive material.
