According to an article in Newswise, “the ability to coat fabrics with nano-particles (or powders) allows for the creation of bio-functional coatings for applications such as anti-bacterial fabrics and bio-sensors that can do everything from warn you when you are in the presence of a biological attack to greatly improving fire retardant properties in all kinds of fabrics, to monitoring blood sugar in sweat […]”

Wilkes University is currently running a 240.000 dollar project to develop and commercialize a machine that will be able to coat fabrics with these nano particles, about 50 times smaller than then width of a human hair.
