An investigation into the porosity and permeability properties of fabric materials using nanotechnology and fractal geometry

Abstract

Nowadays, nanotechnology is used in the apparel industry for manufacturing fabrics with enhanced physical properties, for example, with a higher level of comfort and antiviral characteristics than traditional approaches. Fractal geometry, on the other hand, is very useful for studying the surfaces of irregular shapes with complicated structural patterns making it straightforward to describe, model, and analyse such natural irregular complex structures.
