Nanogold and Nanosilver Wool: New Products for High Value Fashion Apparel and Functional Textiles

Johnston J., Burridge K., Kelly F., Small A., Victoria University of Wellington, NZ

ORAL We have developed a new proprietary nanotechnology and product suite of high value textiles involving the use of nanogold and nanosilver as colourants and functional components in wool. This innovatively links the high value [...]

Nanopalladium – Wool: A Novel Fibre for Multifunctional

Fonseca-Paris C., Johnston J.H., Victoria University of Wellington, NZ

The development of new functional textiles based on composite materials of natural fibres and nanomaterials have become of increasing interest within both academic and industrial sectors. The inherent properties of their all precursor components can [...]

Nanogold and Nanosilver Plastics

Pobedinsky M., Johnston J., Victoria University of Wellington, NZ

We present the innovative development of new plastic materials functionalised by nanogold and nanosilver entities which exhibit anti-microbial and catalytic effects for applications such as air and water filters, membranes, protective textiles, wound dressings and [...]

Quantum Dot – Fibre Composites

Zeller A., Johnston J., Victoria University of Wellington, NZ

Quantum dots are nano-scale inorganic semiconductor materials typically 1-10 nm in size, which exhibit interesting optical, electronic, and catalytic properties. Their electroluminescent and photoluminescent properties find applications in optoelectronic devices, fluorescent labelling in biotechnology and [...]
