Like the term "nano," "antimicrobial" has become part of the common vernacular, particularly in the textile industry. Applications touting antimicrobial capabilities do not generally follow specific criteria for evaluation and quality assessment.
Such criteria should include permanence, effect on fibers and fabrics, design limitations, manufacturability and cost. Schneider will address the latest technology developments in these areas, particularly with respect to fibers and fabrics.
Techtextil brings together highly-seasoned executives, designers and developers who bring a great deal of expertise to the table," said Dennis Schneider. "An in-depth explanation of nanotechnology and antimicrobial protection will assist them as they evaluate product development and introductions in the marketplace. The overuse and misuse of the terms 'nano' and 'antimicrobial' makes it difficult for lay-persons to distinguish real applications of each."
NanoHorizons Inc focuses on nanotechnology applications in the fiber and textile, healthcare and microelectronics industries. The company's research and development team addresses real-world problems with applied nanoscale engineering.
