A method of preparing a microcapsule composition include the steps of: (a) providing a microcapsule formed of an encapsulating polymer having a primary or secondary amine group. (b) providing a deposition agent having a reactive group, and (c) forming a covalent bond between the primary or secondary amine group and the reactive group to graft the deposition agent to the encapsulating polymer. Also disclosed are consumer products containing these microcapsules.

Methods for providing a refresh treatment of fabric articles within a dryer. A refresh composition may include a fabric softener additive and/or surfactant. Various other adjuncts may also be included. The refresh composition may be dosed on a wipe, sponge, pad, sheet, cloth or the like. Such a wipe may be wet to the touch. The refresh composition may not include waxes or similar hydrophobic components typically included in existing fabric softener sheets. The refresh composition (e.g., on a dosed wipe) is placed into the dryer with one or more dry fabric articles, in order to refresh such fabric articles. Such fabric articles are already dry, not having been run through an immediately prior wash cycle. At least about 60% of the composition may be released from the wipe or other substrate quickly, within about 20 minutes, at a temperature of no greater than about 145 F., 135 F. or 120 F.

The present invention relates to a textile article comprising a pro-perfume compound that can be used for tumble drying. The present invention further relates to a method for the preparation of the textile article, and the use of the textile article for improving, enhancing, conferring and/or modifying the fragrance impression and/or fragrance intensity of a garment during tumble-drying.

A dryer sheet including: a nonwoven fibrous substrate; a fabric softener composition engaged with the nonwoven fibrous layer, wherein the fabric softener composition includes: a fabric softening active; a clay; and delivery particles including a core and a polymer wall surrounding the core; wherein the core includes: a benefit agent; and about 5% to about 55% partitioning modifier by weight of the of core; wherein the polymer wall includes a (meth)acrylate polymer derived, at least in part, from one or more oil-soluble or oil-dispersible multifunctional (meth)acrylate monomers or oligomers, the one or more oil-soluble or oil-dispersible multifunctional (meth)acrylate monomers or oligomers having at least three radical polymerizable functional groups, wherein at least one of the radical polymerizable groups is acrylate or methacrylate, wherein the core and the polymer wall are present at a weight ratio of from about 96:4 to about 99.5:0.5.

Novel articles of manufacture are described based on a combination of an adjunct material and microcapsules made by an improved process. The improved microcapsules are chitosan urea and encapsulate a benefit agent. The process comprises combining an adjunct material formed of microcapsules formed by a water phase comprising hydrolyzing chitosan in an acidic medium at a pH of 6.5 or less for an extended period and combining with a polyisocyanate. The reaction product of the hydrolyzed chitosan and polyisocyanate yields a microcapsule having improved release characteristics, with enhanced degradation characteristics in OECD test method 301B.

Active agent-containing articles, for example dryer-added articles and/or washing machine-added articles and/or hair care articles, and more particularly to consumable, single use, water-insoluble articles containing one or more active agents and optionally, one or more auxiliary ingredients, methods for making same, and methods for using same are provided.
