Adsorption of fragrance capsules onto cellulose nano- and micro-cellulose fibers in presence of guar biopolymers [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Fabric softeners are formulated to enhance textile softness and impart a pleasant scent. One of the most efficient technologies for controlled fragrance delivery onto fabrics involves encapsulating scent molecules in polymer capsules. Here, we investigate the adsorption of anionic fragrance cap-sules on cotton fabrics with the goal of reducing the ...

Electroosmotic dewatering of cellulose nanocrystals [PDF]
Cellulose, 2018 One of the main challenges for industrial production of cellulose nanocrystals is the high energy demand during the dewatering of dilute aqueous suspensions. It is addressed in this study by utilising electroosmotic dewatering to increase the solid content of suspensions of cellulose nanocrystals. The solid content was increased from 2.3 up to 15.3 wt%,

Design of eco-friendly fabric softeners: structure, rheology and interaction with cellulose nanocrystals [PDF]
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science 525, 206 - 215 (2018), 2018 Concentrated fabric softeners are water-based formulations containing around 10 - 15 wt. % of double tailed esterquat surfactants primarily synthesized from palm oil. In recent patents, it was shown that a significant part of the surfactant contained in today formulations can be reduced by circa 50 % and replaced by natural guar polymers without ...
