Vehiculation of Active Principles as a Way to Create Smart and Biofunctional Textiles

Abstract: In some specific fields of application (e.g., cosmetics, pharmacy), textile substrates need to incorporate sensible molecules (active principles) that can be affected if they are sprayed freely on the surface of fabrics. The effect is not controlled and sometimes this application is consequently neglected. Microencapsulation and functionalization using biocompatible vehicles and polymers has recently been demonstrated as an interesting way to avoid these problems. The use of defined structures (polymers) that … Show more

“…The MCT compound was also used to make polyester a functional fabric, made from alkaline hydrolysis, which created reactive hydroxyl groups on the surface of the polyester fibers able to react with MCT-β-CD covalently [39]. From the interaction with the cyclodextrins, the modified polyester can adsorb bioactive molecules [112].…”

“…In the area of textile finishing, cyclodextrins can have many applications; they are able to absorb unpleasant odors, and act as an encapsulation agent for essential oils [ 38 , 76 , 78 , 112 , 113 ], vitamins [ 114 ], hormones [ 77 ] and biocides [ 6 , 115 ] in order to preserve compounds and/or control their release, as shown in Figure 4 . The loading of active ingredients allows the incorporation of specific and desired functions into textile materials, which may act differently under particular uses, such as in medicine [ 116 ], cosmetics [ 117 ], and engineering [ 118 ].…”

“…The obtained materials are defined as bio-functional textiles and consist of a combination of pharmaceutical carriers with a conventional textile material such as cotton, wool or man-made fibers. The great potential of bio-functional textiles lies in the possibility of creating a wearable technology out of the pharmaceutical nanocarriers [47,164].…”

“…The latter application includes textiles that aim to be beneficial to the wearer’s health by owing peculiar features such as antibacterial action [38,39], protection against insects and parasites [40,41], antioxidant [42,43] and ultimately drug releasing properties [44,45]. Bio-functional textiles are produced by integrating conventional textiles and advanced pharmaceutical nanocarriers in order to provide wearable drug delivery systems, both for topical and transdermal active therapies [46,47]. Indeed, bio-functional textiles are promising products given their capability of improving dermal penetration of the active molecule and at the same time avoiding toxicity risk by employing bio compatible materials [48].…”

“…The authors show how electrical resistance and mechanical properties of seven different textile sensors were optimized and measured, and report on their composition. The issues of uncontrolled active molecules in spraying of fabric substrates is addressed in the next manuscript in which defined polymers protect active components enabling controlled drug delivery and regulation of dosage, with promising results for home use and in clothes, and hence creating SMART biofunctional textiles [6]. The problem of surface area that enables better performance of electrically conductive polymer-based textiles has been addressed in the next paper by Lukas Vojtech et al [7].…”
