Investgation of moisture management ability of cotton fabric treated with b-cyclodextrin and inclusive complexes β-CD-essential oil

In this paper, the wettability, liquid penetration and absorbtion of cotton fabrics previously treated with cationized beta- cyclodextrin (β-CD) and the inclusion complex β- CD-essential oil of black cumin were tested before and after maintenance cycles to define their use in a hospital environment. Tests were performed by the standard test methods for the determination of the water absorbency and liquid transport: AATCC TM 79-2014, AATCC TM 197-2018, AATCC TM 198-2018 and moisture management properties to according AATCC TM 195-2017 on the Moisture Management Tester (MMT M290, SDL Atlas). It has been shown that cotton samples treated with the inclusion complex β- cyclodextrin-black cumin have a shorter wetting time than standard cotton fabric, which did not change significantly with the washing cycles. In the case of the cotton sample treated with cationized β-CD, the wetting time is faster compared to the standard cotton fabric. For samples subjected to maintenance cycles, the wetting time is visibly extended.
