Development of Odorless Fabric by Using Modified Complex Coacervation Technique

To overcome odor problem, sweat degradation by bacteria is inhibited. In this research, modified complex coacervation technique involves formation of Nano capsules, which stores antimicrobial and fragrant compounds. Modified Complex Coacervation technique requires high-speed mixing of the solution to produce Nano capsules. In this research Sodium Alginate, Gelatin and Gum Arabic were used as wall materials. Aloe vera and peppermint essential oil were used in a core at equal weight with wall materials. Prepared coated samples by synthesized Nano capsules were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Formaldehyde Release Test and AATCC 100 test for antimicrobial activity for validation of formation of Nano capsules, which possessed antimicrobial and fragrant properties.
