Abstract: Nanoscience and nanotechnology are considered to be the key technology for the recent era. Efforts are being worldwide to create smart and intelligent textiles by incorporating various nano particles or by creating nanostructured surfaces and nanofibres which lead to unprecedented level of textile performance such as stain resistant, self cleaning, antistatic, UV protective and various chemical and mechanical properties. The purpose of this paper is to examine the implications of nanotechnology for the fibre and textile industries in the world. The basics and impacts of nanotechnology are discussed in terms of various advanced products by different manufactured along with the properties of the products. With an appreciation of what nanotechnologies are emerging globally in the fibre and textile areas, the local industry will have the necessary background to ask the right questions and make informed decisions.
