“…The method for fragrance evaluation was based on the Lewis procedure . Some fabrics were removed after five and 10 wash cycles [ISO 105‐C01:1989 (E) standard [25]], air dried for 24 h and tested for the presence of fragrance using a panel of five judges.…”

Moreover, active chemicals become protected from reacting with moisture, light, oxygen or other reactants . The microencapsulation products are small particles, called microcapsules, with a diameter of 1–1000 μm.…”

Microencapsulated fragrance was used to produce a fragrant textile product. Melamine–formaldehyde polymer wall microcapsules with a lavender, rosemary and sage essential oil core were applied to a cotton fabric in two ways, i.e. byscreen printing and impregnation. The samples were dried and cured, and then the differences between them were analysed. The condition and distribution of applied microcapsules were observed by scanning electron microscopy, fragrance evaluation was performed on printed and impregnated samples after they had been washed several times, and their handle properties were investigated. Moreover, the influence of artificial light on the wall of microcapsules was examined, and possible antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was evaluated. The change in colour of all samples as a consequence of the addition of microcapsules to the paste or bath was checked. The results show that both application techniques are appropriate for the effective fragrant but on the other hand ineffective antibacterial finishing of cotton fabrics. Artificial light did not affect the microcapsules. There is an impact on colour only when the capsules are printed to fabric. Both of the techniques used, printing and impregnation, have advantages as well as drawbacks.

“…Li et al investigated the effect of UV curing for the encapsulated aroma finish on cotton. The aroma function was prolonged to 50 wash cycles whereas the traditional curing method could withstand 25 wash cycles only (27). Chang integrated the processing procedure of fabric treatment with low temperature plasma, natural oil essence microencapsulation technique and fabric coating technique to improve the adhesion of microcapsules with fabrics (28).…”

Cosmetic textiles with biological benefits: Gelatin microcapsules containing Vitamin C

et al. 2009

Abstract. In recent years, textile materials with special applications in the cosmetic field have been developed. A new sector of cosmetic textiles is opened up and several cosmetic textile products are currently available in the market. Microencapsulation technology is an effective technique to control the release properties of active ingredients that prolong the functionality of cosmetic textiles. This study discusses the development of cosmetic textiles and addresses microencapsulation technology with respect to its historical background, significant advantages, microencapsulation methods and recent applications in the textile industry. Gelatin microcapsules containing vitamin C were prepared using emulsion hardening technique. Both the optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that the newly developed microcapsules were in the form of core-shell spheres with relatively smooth surface. The particle size of microcapsules ranged from 5.0 to 44.1 μm with the average particle size being 24.6 μm. The gelatin microcapsules were proved to be non-cytotoxic based on the research findings of the toxicity studies conducted on human liver and breast cell lines as well as primary bone marrow culture obtained from patient with non-malignant haematological disorder. The gelatin microcapsules were successfully grafted into textile materials for the development of cosmetic textiles.

“…Loss of the fragrance from the capsules reduces the amount of aroma on the fabric and decreases its durability. A cotton fabric finished with aroma capsules by a thermal curing process can only withstand 25 washing cycles (Li et al 2005). An alternative to the thermal process is the use of a microwave curing method for the stabilization process.…”

Application of encapsulated essential oils in the chemical finishing of textiles is rapidly developing because of their versatility and flexibility. In this work, alginate nanocapsules containing peppermint oil were prepared by the microemulsion method and applied on cotton fabric by a microwave curing process. Effective parameters on antimicrobial activity of finished cotton fabric were optimized to obtain a good antimicrobial and fragrant textile. FT-IR spectroscopy and TGA were used to quantify the presence of nanocapsules on the cotton fabric. Also, the surface distribution, attendance and preferred position of the nanocapsules on the textile fibers were investigated by SEM images. The releasing behavior of peppermint oil from the finished cotton fabric in different washing cycles measured by GC-MS analysis indicated that the percent of peppermint oil reached 16 % after 25 washing cycles. Antimicrobial activity of the finished fabric showed 100 % bacterial reduction for both E. coli and S. aureus bacteria in optimum conditions.
