In this study, gelatin/gum arabic/nano zinc oxide and chitosan/gum arabic/nano zinc oxide walled microcapsules which
were produced by complex coaservation method and containing n-octadecane, were applied to cotton fabrics by pad-dry-cure method.
It has been investigated whether zinc oxide particles in microcapsule wall improved the flame retardancy and antibacterial properties
of the fabrics. In addition, the changes in the fabric properties such as air permeability, liquid absorbency and transfer were examined
after the microcapsule application. Consequently, after the microcapsule application, the burning tendency of fabrics decreased, and
they gained an antibacterial effect against gram-positive bacteria. Air permeability, water absorption and liquid transfer properties of
microcapsule treated fabrics decreased. Besides, water absorption and transfer properties of the fabrics were found to be associated
with binder, softener and the microcapsule wall polymer structures.
