“…This same region also contains the peak for Csp3-H at less than 3000 cm -1 , and Csp2-H at a value slightly greater than 3000 cm -1 . The peaks between 1600-1800 cm -1 signify the presence of both C=O and C=C bonds [41]. The sharp and broad peak further validates the presence of a wide array of both C=O and C=C double bonds.…”

Wound care has come through various trials and errors with primitive cultures applying old age techniques and knowledge. Recent research has shown that the moist environment promotes wound healing than the dry. In the present research, hydrogel membranes were fabricated by esterification of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with starch and glutaraldehyde as a cross-linker. The essential oils (clove oil, Oregano oil and tea tree oil) have been incorporated in PVA/Starch based hydrogel membranes. The aim was to achieve optimized anti-bacterial activity and mechanical strength. The anti-bacterial testing was performed using the disc diffusion method. The maximum antibacterial activity for fabricated hydrogels was attained by addition of 0.1 mL clove oil in PVA/Starch hydrogel was 39±0.57 mm and 37±0.29 mm for MRSA and E.Coli, respectively. The FTIR results presented the occurrence of -OH group in hydrogel membrane. The SEM results showed around dense nature of membranes with having an antibacterial agent in it or not.Mechanical examination of hydrogel membranes presented suitable tensile strength of 19.36 MPa for 0.1 mL Clove oil. Furthermore, water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) and moisture retention capability (MRC) for 0.1 mL clove oil was 36.22 g/m 2 h and 95.50%, respectively. The experimental conclusion nominated that fabricated hydrogel articulates good antibacterial, mechanical and physical properties that it could be used in wound dressing applications. The best results were obtained for clove oil using 0.1 mL as an antibacterial agent.

“…Innovative encapsulation technologies were proposed by the authors in [106,107]. A high antimicrobial activity of fibrous materials with microcapsules immobilized on their surface was shown in [108][109][110][111]. It was established that the achieved effect was resistant to washing.…”

This review summarizes the results of research published in recent decades on the main directions in the functionalization of fibrous materials using surface modification. Methods for thepreliminary activation of the surface of fibrous materials are described, allowing increasing the adhesion of modifiers. The features of the formation of functionalizing coatings on fibrous materials in comparison with other substrates are analyzed. Some specific methods for evaluating the effectiveness of the surface modification inherent in fibrous materials are considered. Particular attention is paid to giving fibrous materials antimicrobial properties, photoactivity, the ability to protect against ultraviolet radiation, and hydrophobicity.

Microencapsulation for Functional Textile Coatings with Emphasis on Biodegradability—A Systematic Review

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The review provides an overview of research findings on microencapsulation for functional textile coatings. Methods for the preparation of microcapsules in textiles include in situ and interfacial polymerization, simple and complex coacervation, molecular inclusion and solvent evaporation from emulsions. Binders play a crucial role in coating formulations. Acrylic and polyurethane binders are commonly used in textile finishing, while organic acids and catalysts can be used for chemical grafting as crosslinkers between microcapsules and cotton fibres. Most of the conventional coating processes can be used for microcapsule-containing coatings, provided that the properties of the microcapsules are appropriate. There are standardised test methods available to evaluate the characteristics and washfastness of coated textiles. Among the functional textiles, the field of environmentally friendly biodegradable textiles with microcapsules is still at an early stage of development. So far, some physicochemical and physical microencapsulation methods using natural polymers or biodegradable synthetic polymers have been applied to produce environmentally friendly antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory or fragranced textiles. Standardised test methods for evaluating the biodegradability of textile materials are available. The stability of biodegradable microcapsules and the durability of coatings during the use and care of textiles still present several challenges that offer many opportunities for further research.
