Abstract:Nanotechnology is used to generate new nanometric structures. The objective of this research was to develop the formation of a nanopigment using the carotenoid dyes from Achiote (Bixa Orellana) to optimize molecular compaction in 100% wool tissue. For the formation of the nanopigment, 10g of nanoclays were used: Trimethyl stearyl ammonium or Montmorillonite, K10, Halloysite and Bentonite hydrated separately in 2L of deionized water. The concentration was 0.005 g / L; then, with the achiote extracts previously … Show more
