20.500.12556/RUL-136294 Application of fragrance microcapsules onto cotton fabric after treatment with oxygen and nitrogen plasma Cotton fabric was exposed to low-pressure capacitively coupled plasma to enhance the adsorption and adhesion of fragrance microcapsules (FCM). Two plasma-forming gases, namely oxygen (O$_2$) and nitrogen (N$_2$), were investigated. The untreated and plasma-treated samples were investigated for their morphological changes by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mechanical properties (breaking force, elongation, and flexural rigidity), and wicking properties. The cotton samples were functionalized with FCM and the effect of plasma pretreatment on the adsorption and adhesion of FCM was evaluated using SEM, air permeability, fragrance intensity of unwashed and washed cotton fabrics, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results show that the plasma containing either of the two gases increased the wicking of the cotton fabric and that the O$_2$ plasma caused a slight etching of the fibers, which increased the tensile strength of the cotton fabric. Both plasma gases caused changes that allowed higher adsorption of FCM. However, the adhesion of FCM was higher on the cotton treated with N$_2$ plasma, as evidenced by a strong fragrance of the functionalized fabric after repeated washing. fragrance microcapsules cotton oxygen plasma nitrogen plasma dišeče mikrokapsule bombaž plazma kisika plazma dušika true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-04-22 10:43:05 2022-04-22 10:43:06 2022-09-15 04:13:42 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 16 str. iss. 10, art. 1181 Vol. 11 Oct. 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 677 2079-6412 10.3390/coatings11101181 83591427 coatings-11-01181-v3.pdf coatings-11-01181-v3.pdf 1 DFF60A3DC7B0F58C73FD758EDB203177 c55d65054477cf0f4fc500d849abd7f7d34751bc3ddc8c679d99ee07e88c7d5d 4b77c822-c219-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=155854 https://www.mdpi.com/2079-6412/11/10/1181 1 291996ce-c218-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=155853 Naravoslovnotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
