Silver Chloride – Wool Nanohybrid Materials: Synthesis and Properties

Johnston J.H., Kelly F.M., Victoria University of Wellington, NZ

The development and characterisation of a new nanowool hybrid material formed by functionalising merino wool with silver chloride nanoparticles is presented. The nanoparticles are formed directly on the surface and inside the wool fibre. Initially [...]

Gold Nanoparticles as Colourants in High Fashion Fabrics and Textiles

Johnston J.H., Richardson M.J., Burridge K.A., Kelly F.M., Victoria University of Wellington, NZ

Gold nanoparticles which exhibit different colours due to surface plasmon resonance scattering effects are used here as stable colourants on wool and synthetic fibres. This provides the exciting opportunity to link nanoscience with high value [...]
