Abstract
Nanotechnology, the science of manipulating matter at the nanoscale, offers remarkable opportunities for innovation across various fields. Nanomaterials, which form the cornerstone of advanced materials, drive forward new ideas and groundbreaking applications. In the textile industry, traditional antibacterial and antifungal garments are typically treated with chemical compounds to inhibit bacterial growth. However, these treatments often lack durability, losing effectiveness after multiple washes. To address this limitation, the application of green nanotechnology in developing high-performance textiles emerges as a promising solution. This study explores the integration of nanocomposites into the polymer layers of footballs to enhance their stability and performance. By embedding nanoparticles within the polymer matrix, the durability and resilience of the footballs are significantly improved, leading to better control and performance on the field. This innovative approach not only extends the lifespan of the footballs but also provides economic advantages by reducing the frequency of replacements. Additionally, the enhanced stability contributes to a more consistent and reliable playing experience, promoting improved safety and performance for athletes.
