Nanotechnology Idea

A trip one day to Nanoforce at Queen Mary University in Mile End area with Dorota and the other fashion girls has opened our eyes that there are many other possibilites in producing new things and using new technologies. Nanoforce Technology Limited is a company set up through the Micro and Nanotechnology (MNT) funding from the Department of Trade and Industry (now the Technology Strategy Board) and the London Development Agency to exploit and disseminate nano technology to the creative industries and beyond.

Nanotechnology: refers to a field whose theme is the control of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally nanotechnology deals with structures of the size 100 nanometers or smaller, and involves developing materials or devices within that size.
Nanotechnology is extremely diverse, ranging from novel extensions of conventional device physics, to completely new approaches based upon molecular self-assembly, to developing new materials with dimensions on the nanoscale, even to speculation on whether we can directly control matter on the atomic scale.

We spoke to a representative who offered to help us to make a proposal if we have any idea in using Nanotechnology into our garment, in which they would help us to make and fund the project. I think this is a really really great opportunity; having a help in funding to do my project as well as the technology and the chance to make something different.
I had several ideas regarding nanotechnology, which is to make the 3D fabric using nanotechnology and/or making a light emitting fabric in which I could put a Wayang show into a fabric (garment) and that, when everytime the model walks, the motifs on the fabric moves around (in this case, the wayang show moves around and creates some sort of Wayang show on the garment). I think I might have to work on the animation then nanotechnology would play the role as the fibres that makes the Wayang move around. I saw this similar technology which was made by Phillips, the light company in which they made a LED T-shirt.
