Abstract:
The future Dry cleaning? That's for vintage clothes. Now your jeans stay clean of their own accord. They're also more comfortable than ever, while still being waterproof - even bullet-proof, if you like. If you're a little lost, just turn down the embedded music player and ask your jacket for directions. Oh and then there is that invisibility cloak ... Here and now Already there are high-performance clothing lines with nanotechnology in the material. Nano-Tex fibre is being used in clothing and furnishing textiles to deliver wrinkle-, fade- and stain-resistant fabrics that also keep wearers cool or warm to suit the environment.
