Abstract
A system and method for treating fabrics to increase tear strength and to decrease UV exposure of the fabrics to help mitigate degradation in strength, color, or other significant attributes of the fabric. Nanoparticles are embedded within thin films and applied to the fabrics to increase the tear strength of such fabrics and minimize UV exposure.
Claims20
A method for treating fabrics to increase tear strength, comprising,
- forming an aqueous solution, comprising,
- nanoparticles that prevent more than 50% of UV light in the range of 280 nm to 400 nm from reaching the fabric;
- applying the aqueous solution to the fabric;
- and
- drying the fabric with heat at less than 110° C., thereby forming a coated fabric, wherein the appearance of the coated fabric will not be significantly altered in visible light.
