STRANGE -BUT TRUE-NOW CLEAN CLOTHES WITH SUNLIGHT



Now  you   can  clean your  clothes   with  the  help  of  sunlight   within  minutes.
Scientists   have   developed   , a low  cost  ,efficient  way   to  grow  nano structures  on  textiles  that  can  degrade    organic  matter   when  exposed  to  light.
The   research   from    RMTT University   in  Australia  pave  the  way   towards  nano  -enhanced  textiles  that   can  spontaneously  clean  themselves   of  stain  and  grime   simply  by  being  put   under  a  light   bulb  or  worn  out  in  the  sun  .
The  process  has  a  variety  of    applications   for  catalysis  -based  industries  such  as  agrochemicals,pharmaceuticals  and   natural  products.
The  researchers   worked   with  copper  and  siver  based  nano structures  , which  are  known  for their  ability  to absorbed   visible  light  .When  the   nano  structures   are  exposed  to  light  ,they   receive  an  energy  boost  that  creates    "hot electrons". These  release  a  bust  of  energy  that  enables  the  nano structures  a to  degrade   organic  matter.
The  challenge   for  researchers  has   been  to  bring  the  concept  out  of  the  lab ,  by  working  out  how  to  build  these  nano  structures  on  industrial   scale  and  permanently  attach  them  to  textiles.The  team's  approach  was   to  grow  the  nano structures  directly   on  to  the  textile   by  dipping   them   into  a   few  solutions,  resulting  in  the  development  of   stable nano structures  within  just  thirty   minutes.
When  exposed  to  sun light  ,it  took  less  than   six  minutes  for   some  of  the  nano -enhanced  textiles  to spontaneously    cleans  themselves.
"Our  next  step   will  be  to  test   our  nano -enhanced    textiles  with  organic  compounds that  could   be  more  relevant   to  consumers, to  see  how quickly   they  can  handle   common  stains   like  tomato sauce  or  wine,"Ramanathan said..Ramanathan    along with   Dipesh kumar  and ,vipul  bansal  all  from  RMTT  University    conducted  the  research.
