FUNCTIONAL TEXTILES BY APPLYING OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE COMPOUNDS: REVIEW
Journal Title: Annals of the University of Oradea. Fascicle of Textiles, Leatherwork - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
In the last years the cosmetic industry using plant derivatives grow significantly for whole domains in which activates. Essentials oils and plant extracts are assumed to be ecologically sound and there is generally an absence of unwanted side effects arising from the use of them. Essential oils present a particular interest due to multiple benefits it shows such as antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, insecticidal, radical scavenging properties, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, germicide, healing and cosmetic effects. As people are used to wear textile materials in their daily life, thus it is also logical to use textile as the possible basis for the delivery system of cosmetic substances. Bioactive systems are applied to the textile materials by a variety of techniques. Microencapsulation technology offers many opportunities to improve the properties of textiles or enhance them with value added functions. One major advantage of using microencapsulation technology that acts as the delivery system of cosmetic substances is its ability to protect active ingredients from hazardous environment. Another important advantage is its controlled release properties that seem to be the best choice for increasing the efficiency and minimization of environmental damage. When different active substances for body care or health are embedded into textiles, they are then later releasing them systematically being gradually transferred to the skin by natural movement, pressure or the effect of the skin’s natural warmth and enzymes. Microcapsules can be applied to the textiles by different methods: padding, coating, spraying or immersion methods.
