Functionalized particles comprising a shell and a core and a payload that is embedded or entrapped, wherein the shell matrix is obtained by interfacial polymerisation of vinyltriethoxy silane and at least one other ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable with vinyltriethoxy silane, said functionalized particles being capable to chemically bind to a substrate, are suitable as controlled release systems for textile applications to impart durable softness and excellent water retention even after multiple laundries.

A laundry scent additive having polyethylene glycol and perfume. The laundry scent additive enables consumers to control the amount of scent imparted to their laundry.

The present technology generally relates to an encapsulation system for delivery of an active agent, the encapsulation system comprising a matrix of microcapsules, wherein a first portion of microcapsules in the matrix of microcapsules has an average diameter of from about 0.1 microns to about 10 microns; a second portion of the microcapsules has an average diameter of from about 10 microns to about 100 microns; and a third portion of the microcapsules has an average diameter of from about 100 microns to about 500 microns; and wherein the active agent is encapsulated in the microcapsules.

Proposed are a functional microcapsule processed to contain therein a germanium component having various physiologically active characteristics and a functional textile fabric to which the functional microcapsules are applied. The functional microcapsule includes a lipophilic oil, germanium ore powder or germanium oxide powder dispersed in the oil, and a shell made of a polymer material and containing therein the oil in which the germanium ore powder or germanium oxide powder is dispersed. These proposals may solve the problem of poor resistance to washing and poor washing durability, which have been pointed out as problems with conventional use of germanium, and may facilitate attachment and fixing of germanium to various media.

A method of treating a fabric, where the method includes the steps of contacting a fabric with a treatment composition, where the treatment composition comprises a population of delivery particles having a shell that includes a polymeric material that is the reaction product of a polyisocyanate and chitosan, and exposing the delivery particles that are on the surface of the fabric to ultraviolet (UV) light. A consumer product that includes such treatment compositions in containers that block or absorb ultraviolet light.
