Textile material or other carrier material with integrated microencapsulation and rechargeability by spraying

Abstract

Textile material or other carrier material in which microencapsulations are an integral part of the fiber structure, whereby the microencapsulations can release active substances such as fragrances.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to textile materials or other carrier materials with integrated microencapsulations incorporated into the fiber structure. These microencapsulations are capable of releasing active substances such as fragrances and can be recharged by simply spraying the corresponding substances. State of the art

[0002] Various methods are known in the art for applying fragrances or other active substances to textiles. These typically involve surface treatments in which microencapsulations are printed or sprayed onto the textile material. However, these approaches have the disadvantage that the microencapsulations are quickly removed by abrasion, washing, or other external influences. Permanent integration of the microencapsulation into the fiber structure is not yet known.

[0003] Another disadvantage of existing technologies is that the fragrances are exhausted after the initial release and cannot be refilled. This limits the functionality and involves increased costs and effort. Object of the invention

[0004] The object of the invention is to provide a textile material or other carrier material which: ◯ Contains microencapsulations integrated into the fiber structure, making it durable and resistant to abrasion and washing, ◯ can release active substances such as fragrances in a controlled manner, ◯ can be recharged by simply spraying on the appropriate substances without changing the material structure. Solution to the task

[0005] This problem is solved by a textile material or other carrier material containing microencapsulations that are an integral part of the fiber structure. The microencapsulations enable the controlled release of fragrances or other active substances. The special feature of the invention is that the microencapsulations can be recharged by external influences, in particular by spraying the respective substances onto them.

Claims

[1] Textile material or other carrier material in which microencapsulations are an integral part of the fiber structure, whereby the microencapsulations can release active substances such as fragrances. [2] The material according to claim 1, wherein the microencapsulations are rechargeable by external action, in particular by spraying the respective substances. [3] The material according to any one of the preceding claims, which is suitable for use in clothing, home textiles, vehicle interiors, technical textiles or accessories. [4] The material according to any one of the preceding claims, which consists of natural, synthetic or mixed fibres. [5] Use of a material according to any one of the preceding claims for the release of fragrances or other active substances, wherein the release can be supplemented by recharging with the same or other substances.
