Application of Vitamin E Microcapsules on Textiles

Abstract:

Vitamin E microcapsules prepared using spray drying were applied to fabrics in thefinishing processby means of padding, and characterization of microcapsules was studied.Experimental conditions for the textile padding process were based on industrial requirements.Morphologies and core-shell structure of the microcapsules and particle size distribution were studiedusing scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and a particle size analyzer.The effectiveness of textile padding (adherence state of microcapsules on textiles and washingfastness) was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and ultraviolet spectrophotometry. Basedon the present reseach, vitamin E successfully adhered to textiles, and a kind of skin-care product hasbeen developed.
