Functionalization of woven fabrics for antimicrobial capability using microcapsules with essential oils

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:[Excerpt] The functionalization of textiles covers multiple objectives, such as the allocation of perfumes, antimicrobials, some drugs, phase change materials. Among these goals, the antimicrobial capability ensures that microorganisms do not thrive on textiles (Fig. 1), allowing users to use these products safer in different scenarios. This research evaluates the antimicrobial capacity of cotton fabrics through the application of microcapsules containing essential oils.
