Nanopiracy
Abstract
In this study we plan to develop a new anti-counterfeiting technology for textiles based on novel, reactive and water-soluble polymer nanocontainers. Here we will develop an efficient synthetic route to functionalized polymer nanocontainers that is capable of scaling up the container production. These nanocontainers will be loaded with a fluorescent dye that serves as al label for rapid and convenient detection. To immobilize the permanently we will covalently attach the labeled nanocontainers to embroidery yarns.
