Scope note:

Refers to fabrics engineered with nanofibers having a width of less than 1000 nanometers. These have many applications thanks to such advantageous properties as extreme water-resistance and elasticity. There has been concern expressed regarding environmental and health effects of nanomaterials in nanotextiles released into air, soil, or groundwater or in direct contact with wearer.
