snatch an electron from other structures, which causes damage to the
cell membrane. The antioxidant (like vitamin E) protect the cell
membrane by giving an electron to free radicals.

27. • Microencapsulation
4.
Technique used
•Coating

28. General Structure of Microcapsule
Structure of microcapsule generally consists of two major components:
(a) Active Ingredient
(b) Wall Shell

29. •Microencapsulation can prolong the shelf life of various
volatile and non volatile cosmetic ingredients by delaying
oxidation and evaporation.
•The suitability of microcapsules for Cosmetotextiles
application depend on the range of diameter, mechanical
robustness and content release profile of microcapsule to
offer appropriate potential for specific functionality.

30. Dope Insertion
Inherently functionalized fibres can be used to
manufacture textile materials for various purposes.
Active agents are added to the fibre forming material
at the time of dope preparation before fibre extrusion.
• UV absorbing- Zn nanoparticles
• Delusturing –TiO2.

31. • Active agents are coated on fibre, yarn or a fabric
• Bed linen can be made more comfortable and healthier using fibres coated
by microcapsules with essential oils or antibacterial agents as well as
antimite chemicals.
• As the CD and vitamin E complex does not show any substantivity with
textile surfaces, pad- ding, spraying, coating or printing are the other
alternative application techniques. For permanent fixation of the complex,
reactive polyurethanes have proven to be advantageous. The fixation of
CD vita- min E complex can provide the following effects. n Free from
formaldehyde n Soft handle n Good fastness on textile surfaces n
Applicable on all types of fibres. The fixation of the complex is physical,
particularly for cellulose and wool fibre (reaction with -OH, -NH2-
groups). The fixation of the charged cyclodextrin with reactant
crosslinking agents is also possible, but then only for application on cel-
lulose fibres.
Coating

32. • Various cosmetic ingredients are grafted onto fibre, yarn and fabric
surfaces to achieve cosmetic effects.
• g-cyclodextrin has proven a suitable wellness substance.
• A research group has permanently grafted β-CD molecules onto a
Tencel (cellulosic fibre) fabric surface.
• The fabric treated was found to be satisfactory after various aroma
& antimicrobial finishing tests without any significant modification
of the original fabric surface.
Grafting

33. • Fabric is dyed with different parts of plant like flowers,
barks, seeds and roots etc to obtain the color over the fabric
• Ayurvastra, cosmetic textile of India is based on the similar
concept.
• Dyes for Ayurvastra cloth typically contain between 40 to 60
specifically blended and carefully prepared medicinal herbs,
plants, flowers, roots and barks. The temperatures of the dyes,
the duration and number of the dye soaks, the blend of herbs,
and even the equipment used are carefully controlled.
