‘Casper’ company has made the product which is an antibacterial smart cloth for infants, enabling the real-time detection of his/her fever in the first minutes through changing its color from blue or pink to white.

The clothing is composed of anti-allergy fibers with a high temperature sensitivity.

Applying the nanoparticles and thermochromic pigments in the tissue fibers has resulted in emergence of antifungal and antibacterial properties and ability to real-time monitor the temperature of infants' body.

Iran currently ranks 4th in the world in production of nano-science. This comes as a part of Iran's Nanotechnology Initiative Council’s first development plan, which has sought to advance nano-science in the country.

The second 10-year plan, which started in 2015, seeks to move nano-science from paper to the industry. In the meantime, the Nanotechnology Initiative Council is working on a third plan to trade Iranian nano-products in the global market.
