摘要

The development of aromatic cotton fabrics (ACF) applications has attracted much attention, and traditional crosslinking agents are unsuitable for the current textile industry. Inspired by marine mussels, a novel bionic adhesion nanocapsule was prepared by the emulsion template method, with covalently crosslinked quaternized chitosan/polydopamine (QCS/PDA) as the wall material and lavender essential oil (LEO) as the core material. LEO nanocapsules were acid-responsive, exhibited durable adhesion and effective antibacterial activity, inhibiting both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, with a more significant inhibitory effect on the latter (inhibition rate of over 95%). Subsequently, ACF with good washing resistance was prepared by further adhering to cotton fabrics during impregnation. Following 25 washing cycles, only 1% of LEO remained in the ACF treated with essential oil, whereas the ACF treated with nanocapsules (QCS/PDA) retained 13% of LEO. This enhanced washing resistance is due to a strong adhesion mechanism combining chemical crosslinking (covalent bond between PDA and cellulose/QCS) and electrostatic interaction (quaternary ammonium group of QCS and negatively charged cotton fiber). This work provides new insights and promising research directions to promote the diversification of functional textiles.
