1. Implanting gold or silver molecules in clothing has been done for at least 3 years now.

2. They've found over long periods of time, the molecules get transferred to the body, which can be problematic.

3. Smell is more of an issue than cleanliness.

manglav, you are right about silver being used in clothing but there is a difference. A lot of companies are using silver/metallic ion surface treatments that result in the transfer of "molecules". But I am using polymer that has silver bonded to it permanently. This has been approved and certified. The other major development is my patent pending Silver double system. Normally, companies use a very low percentage of silver that is not uniformly present across the surface of the fabric. I have used this special weave structure where silver and milk fibers are present uniformly across the fabric.

good stuff, polymers are great for that sort of thing. Even though polymers abrade over long periods of time, it sounds like your product should be licensed. Get some hard data, and license it to clothing companies / fabric companies, that's the easiest way to get your product to market.
