Physical properties of compressive knits compound with different matters impregnated by microcapsules moisturizing

Abstract

The compressive knits include a very varied group of different device functions, from the more merely (protection) to the more developed (scars improvement, skin hydration…). We combined two therapy forms the pressure and the hydration of burned skin. We essayed to reunite the advantages of two techniques pressure and hydration in only one and the same instrument in the form of compressive knit with microencapsulated surface. The compressive knits are elaborated with different textile matters such us Cotton/Spandex, Polyester/Spandex, Polyamide/Spandex, Viscose/Spandex and Cotton/Polyester/Spandex. The hydration product chosen in this application is the Jojoba Oil. The microcapsules were prepared according to the Phase Separation Method. The physical properties such us the Pressure, the Mass per Area, the Thickness, the Air Permeability and the Adiathermic Power are tested. According to the results, we conclude that the knits are compressive, comfort, smooth, no allergen, thinness and washable. The raw materials selected for the samples studied are biocompatible with human skin

Impact of high and zero formaldehyde crosslinkers on the performance of the dyed cotton fabric

“…Cotton is among the most imperative apparel fibers of the world due to it numerous end use performance advantages [1,2]. Typically, cotton fabric is first dyed and then finished with easy care crosslinkers to achieve the desired color and wrinkle free performance.…”

“…However, the shade change of the sulphur dyed fabrics was significantly improved when typical sodium hypophosphite based catalyst for BTCA was replaced with sodium phosphate. In addition, tensile strength and easy care performance of the crosslinker treated dyed fabric was also assessed.Cotton is among the most imperative apparel fibers of the world due to it numerous end use performance advantages [1,2]. Typically, cotton fabric is first dyed and then finished with easy care crosslinkers to achieve the desired color and wrinkle free performance.…”

Polysulfone/Vanillin Microcapsules for Antibacterial and Aromatic Finishing of Fabrics

“…Fabrics with microcapsules not only behave like conventional fabrics, but also have some additional features, which depend on the encapsulated (core) material . Among the most promising applications we find the encapsulation of phase change materials (PCM) for providing clothes with thermo-regulating properties, − perfumes for producing clothes with long-lasting fragrance benefits, − antibacterial agents, − animal repellents, , cosmetics, , and others. − …”

“…However, not only are the characteristics of the microcapsules are important but also the way in which they are added to the fabrics is crucial. For this purpose several methods have been proposed and used, , such as integration of the capsules into a coating, ,,, printing, impregnation, padding or exhausting bath, ,,,,,, and grafting of the microcapsules to the fabrics with chemical links ,, among others. ,− , …”
