Abstract

ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT
Two decades ago, nanotechnologies demonstrated various applications in different fields. As a result, exposure to such particles has been risen dramatically within the last century due to anthropogenic sources of nanoparticles. The wide application of nanomaterials in industry, consumer, and products have raised concerns regarding the potential toxicity of nanoparticles to humans. For this Engineered nano technology, materials have been proved to be with a great risk on human health and environment. For that reason, we now try to find solutions to mange this risks that many scientific studies prove it to be with a great dangerous impact. As an alternative solution, scientists work hard to extract natural nanomaterials from different sources of nature even from (agricultural crops – soil- sand ……..etc).
The aim of the research is to focus on the potential uses of these extracted natural nanomaterials and study their physical and mechanical properties and application in interior design and furniture field, in a way to find Sustainable interior design using design principles such as functionality, and aesthetics and expands the focus to include environmental considerations by choosing materials with low environmental impacts.
The research manipulated three components (Nano cellulose fibers sheets, nano clays and shellac) together structural properties and studied The advantages of those green nano materials and future trends and applications in the field of interior design.
Two properties were examined on the prepared samples on this paper contact angle and water absorption For the purpose of mating between green nano-materials and interior design for use in creating a comfortable environment for humans and environment friendly.
