Impregnation of Microencapsulated Aroma Oil on Ramie Blended Terry Textile and its Bending Rigidity
Journal Title: Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue 4
Abstract
An aroma agent containing eucalyptus essential oil was used for the development of a smart terry textile. The performance of terry woven fabric with microcapsules in relation to varied amounts of binder as well as the weft density of the fabric was evaluated. By SEM analysis it was confirmed that microcapsules really covered the terry textile. The bending rigidity and coefficient of anisotropy of samples modified with microcapsules and untreated ones were assessed. Due to additive components such as microcapsules and binder, the bending rigidity of terry fabric increased by even 5.1-12.8 times in the weft direction and by 5.3-14.0 times in the warp direction compared with grey ones. The research developed an analysis and empiric mathematical model suitable for predicting of binding rigidity as well as designing new terry fabrics with required binding properties.
