Abstract

In the study, microencapsulation of methyl cedryl ketone (MCK) with polyurethane urea (PUU) polymers was performed by interfacial polymerization method. PUU (isocyanate/PEG-400/polyamine) mole ratios (5.4/3.0–5.5/1.5–3.9), which is the main component of the capsule shell, were formed at a temperature of 80 °C in 240 min. The encapsulation efficiency of the produced microencapsules, CMK-PUU microcapsule release at room temperature, microencapsule shell degradation at high temperature, adhesion durability by fixing on cotton, polyester, silk and non-woven fabric were investigated. Structure analysis of the toluenediisocyanate, non-containing MCK-PUU microencapsule shell in FT-IR spectroscopy, stability and size of emulsified droplets with optical microscope, the size, wall thickness and adhesion of the MCK-PUU microencapsules on the fabric by scanning electron microscope and thermal degradation of the capsule wall material by thermo gravimetric analysis were investigated. The yield of the microencapsules was 65.66–73.56%, the capsule wall thickness was 1250 nm, the active substance loss at 20 °C for 60 days was 5.5%, after being attached to the fabric, it was stable up to 4 washes on the fabric.
