New β-Cyclodextrin-Based Microcapsules for Textiles Uses
2019
In this paper, a novel kind of microcapsules containing 2-ethoxynaphtalene (neroline) was successfully synthesized into polyurethane shells through the interfacial polycondensation of β-cyclodextrin with 4,4’-methylene (bisphenyl isocyanate) (MDI) in direct emulsion. The IR spectroscopy was used, on the one hand to confirm the success of polymerization reaction leading to the polyurethane shell formation, but on the other hand to check the encapsulation efficiency of fragrance that accounts for 40%. Microcapsules’ spherical shape and particle size distributions were revealed by means of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation, and small-angle light scattering measurement. The impregnation of neroline-loaded microcapsules on polyamide knitted fabric was tested as an application method at a yield of around 74%. Adhesion of synthesized microcapsules to textile materials was evaluated through microscopic observations. The durability of the impregnation effect was tested by SEM and UV-visible spectroscopy. Washing fastness test of the impregnated polyamide knitting proved that the loaded microparticles retained their efficiency after more than 35 washing cycles.
