Abstract:In this study, a promising microemulsion delivery system containing andiroba essential oil, lemongrass essential oil and chitosan was developed and applied in 100% cotton fabrics to provide antibacterial functionality. The developed micellar systems were characterized by coloration, electrical conductivity, viscosity, zeta potential, particle size, temperature resistance and microbial activity analyses. The microemulsions in the substrates were verified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and mic… Show more
