Synthesis of Reactive Fragranced Entities and ...

The aim of the study was to synthesize fragranced reactive entities followed by their graft to cotton fabric. The cyanuric chloride was chosen for this purpose to utilize its reactivity which was grafted to β-cyclodextrin to generate cavities to load various fragrances in it. The synthesized complex was then encapsulated with various fragrances followed by its application to the cotton fabric. The treated samples, subjected to number of washing cycles as well as exposure to sunlight to study the fragrance retention, were then characterized for β-cyclodextrin content, graft %, tensile properties and olfactometry analysis. The studies of FTIR spectra clearly showed attachment of β-cyclodextrin to cyanuric chloride whereas olfactometry analysis gave an idea of perfume retention onto the fabric even after number of washings and exposure to sunlight.
