| Abstract | The semester thesis here present was written in the frame of the “Nanosafe Textiles” project of the TVS Textilverband Schweiz and the Empa St. Gallen. In a first part, it gives an overview over nanotechnology related research activities in order to point out textile functions which can be achieved by nanoengineering. For each textile function, the used nanoparticles are listed together with the applied production methods to give references about how the respective nanoparticle (NP) could be bound in the textile matrix and thereby provide a basis for later exposure risk assessments. In a second part, an Internet research for nanoengineered textile products was run to draw a spectrum of possible commercial applications. The found consumer goods were then sorted according to their function and scanned for available information about the used nanoparticles and production methods. |
