NanoFabulous aims at the development of innovative nano-enabled technical textiles based mainly on polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE). The project involves the collaboration between Thrace Nonwovens & Geosynthetics S.A. (member of Thrace Plastics Group) and Institute of Nanoscience & Nanotechnology (National Center of Scientific Research “Demokritos”). The main scientific/ technological objectives of the project are the preparation of advanced functional fillers namely (Graphene-based and Inorganic Nanotubes), and their successful incorporation into PP and/or PE carrier. The introduction of those multi-functional, nano-structured additives into pre-selected technical textiles which exhibit great market potential, is strongly expected to enhance their i) Mechanical properties, ii) Flame retardancy, iii) UV-resistance, and iv) Electron conductivity.
