Abstract

The provided text selection discusses the development and use of microencapsulation in the textile industry. It explains how microencapsulation involves the creation of tiny structures called microcapsules that contain bioactive compounds or polymers, and these capsules can protect the encapsulated substances from various environmental factors. The text also describes different methods used to produce microcapsules, such as chemical, physical-chemical, and physical methods. It further explores the applications of microcapsules in textile functionalization, including antimicrobial finishing, aroma finishing, phase change materials finishing, mosquito repellent finishing, self-cleaning and water repellent finishing, and flame retardant finishing. The processes and techniques used in each application are detailed, providing insights into the fabrication and benefits of microencapsulation in textile processing.
