A Study on Durability of a Fragrance Finishing on Jute Fabric

ABSTRACT

Literature information on development of jute-based home textiles with an esthetic appeal and sustainable fragrance still lacks. A fragrance finish has been applied on a bleached jute fabric and the durability of the fragrance against home laundering was assessed by subjective assessment, scanning electron microscopic (SEM), moisture regain (%), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and handle property. Results inferred that microencapsulated fragrance sustains on the jute fabric up to 10 washing cycles.

摘要

关于发展具有美感和可持续香味的黄麻家用纺织品的文献资料仍然缺乏.对漂白黄麻织物进行了香精整理，并通过主观评价、扫描电镜（SEM）、回潮率（%）、傅立叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）和处理性能评价了香精的耐用性.结果表明，黄麻织物经10个洗涤周期后仍能保持微胶囊香味。
