Physics of NanoChromatic Fabrics

-Ambient light is diffracted from groove edges to produce rainbow colors-NanoChromatic fabrics can display holograms-Shape, color, and intensity change with angle of light source (highlights curvature and motion)

NanoChromatic Fabric Finishing

Finished, but not patterned

Original fabric

NanoChromatic

Advantages

- No dyes (environmentally friendly colors!)

- No laminates, adhesives, or films

- Difficult to counterfeit- Three dimensional image possibilities- Highlights curvature and motion (whole new dimension for fashion!)- Effects still show when wet

- Retains physical properties of base fabric

- ironing- wash/dry (dry clean for metalized fabric)- pool water, seawater- printing

NanoChromatic Fabric Finishing

NanoChromatic Fabric Embossing Process

Prepare diffraction pattern or 3D image (hologram) artworkCreate master via electro-deposition processCreate embossing film from master Roll fabric pressed against film at high temperature/pressureNanoChromatic process coming for 60 inch wide materialMachine wash, tumble dry

Metalizing Process (well established)

Metal (aluminum) vapor deposition on fabric in vacuum chamberIntensifies hologram color brightness and effectsDry clean only

Next Steps

- Bring up 60 inch wide machine with contract MFGer

- Produce and sell fabric to specialty, high-margin markets

- Control introduction to maximize appeal over long term

- Associate the value closely with existing brand names for mutual benefit

- Seek endorsement from celebrities

We are interested in working with partners
