Nano Waterproofing

Description:

The "Nano Waterproofing" lesson explores how materials can be modified at the nano scale to provide features such as waterproofing and stain resistance. Student "engineering" teams develop their own waterproofing technique for a cotton fabric and test their design against a fabric that has been altered through nanotechnology applications.
