Though not exactly the technology we're all desperately waiting for, clothing coated with these nano fibres to make them stain resistant and water repellent are not exactly wide spread, or are they? I've got my Nano shirt and Nano trousers... in 2004 I got them. However I've not seen the transition take place and big companies start using the tech in a wide range of products. I wonder if this is fear of 'nanotech' and a similar situation to things like asbestos.

You ask the average person if they ever heard of nanotech they still don't really know, ask them ever heard of the nano clothes and usually always no. Predictions were that we'd all have nano clothes by now.

The field of nanotech seems to be progressing really slowly from what I can see, apart from the computer chips industry. Are predictions for nanotech generally too optimistic

The clothing that I have right now that uses this Nano coating or whatever it is are pretty much 'work clothes' and not casual stuff that I 90% of the time wear. Plus I can't really find any UK retailers that sell them.

Probably because it's not really nanotech. They're using the phrase, much like some new supplements/drugs. But, I was under the impression that it was just a marketing thing and there was nothing going on at that scale.

Are these nano clothes the same thing as microfibers? I've heard a lot about microfiber. I have a microfiber tablecloth that looks and feels like nice cloth, but water beads up on it, and if you soak it up quickly with a paper towel the tablecloth doesn't get wet. If you leave it there for a little while, it does soak in.

I have heard of nano tach in many chain cloth store/ brand. Especially for clothing which requires water proof or wind proof.

Another Google Bomb try? Maybe you can cancel this persons account?

I also heard about nano tach in many chain cloth store/ brand. I don't think that it was happen.I also heard that a new season styles and a new range will always put a spring in my step, and really it's no wonder. We've filled pages with Spammer clothing that's fresher and brighter than a daffodil, and considerably tastier too.
