Study regarding the development of the functional textiles with antimicrobial properties
Journal Title: Proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Materials and Systems (ICAMS) - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue
Abstract
The antimicrobial fibres, with encapsulated antimicrobial agents, prevent the bacteria developing and maintain the body under hygienic conditions a longer time, refreshing and facilitating the skin respiration, eliminating the possibility of giving out the unpleasant odour. The capsules continuously migrate towards the fibre surface, until exhaustion, achieving a protection zone on the surface. The clothing products and socks made of antimicrobial fibres preserve their antimicrobial effect after numerous washings, unlike the textiles covered with polymers that contain antimicrobial agents that retain their antimicrobial effect only several washings. The main objective of the research was the development of advanced technologies and functional textiles with ecological impact on the environment and human body, the promotion of raw materials using superior hygienic-functional characteristics as well as antibacterial and anti-allergic properties. Finally, both the performances of the hygienic and functional characteristics of the developed textile products and the positive impact over the environment were accomplished due to the antimicrobial fibres and by using the ecological finishing technologies and treatment with plant extracts with antimicrobial and anti-allergic properties. Microencapsulation can prolong the shelf life of various volatile and non-volatile cosmetic ingredients by delaying oxidation and evaporation. The suitability of microcapsules for cosmetic textiles applications depend on the range of diameter, mechanical robustness and content release profile of microcapsule to offer appropriate potential for specific functionality.
