Microfiber & Other Nanos
What does microfiber have to do with nanotechnology, you might ask.
Well, it's all about how physical properties of materials change
dramatically at extremely small scales. Take water, for instance. In our
macro-world, water is simply wet. But zoom in to the molecular level,
and water is electrically imbalanced, allowing the molecule to stick to
all kinds of different particles and break them down. Combine this fact
and the natural solvent action of water molecules with the attraction of
microfiber, and you have an extremely versatile and
environmentally-friendly cleaning system utilizing these special
micro-properties.
Many materials at the nano scale behave in surprising, and sometimes very beneficial ways. One such material is titanium dioxide. In its normal form, Ti02 is the most widely used white pigment in the world. It is added to everything from paints to milk and toothpaste. And it's a valuable additive in sunscreen because of its ability to block UV rays. But just like the threads in a microfiber cloth, when Ti02 is manufactured as a nanoscale particle, some amazing reactions are created.
