Analysis Of Herbal Microencapsulation On Natural Handloom Cotton Blends For Sustainable And Eco-Friendly Textile Development

Abstract

The use of cotton has been increased now a days, also the use of other synthetic fabrics are increasing simultaneously, as they are produced to achieve new texture and comfort, they in turn cause environmental hazards. To extend the use of cotton fabrics, certain fibres where blended with cotton in order to improve the properties. In this study the handloom fabrics Musa acuminata x Gossypium, Bambusa vulgaris x Gossypium, Gossypium herbaceum where the two different blended fabrics used for the analysis. The development was made to achieve the comfort property of the fabric. The selected fabrics were microencapsulated using Cuminum cyminum, here we have compared the impact of the microencapsulation on the selected fabrics using physical analysis, SEM and FT-IR.
