A method of manufacturing an aqueous freshening composition having a plurality of particles suspended by a structurant system is provided. The method includes the steps of: mixing an aqueous carrier and at least 80 wt. % of ion-forming water-soluble ingredients of the freshening composition to form an aqueous premix; subsequently mixing a first polysaccharide into the aqueous premix; mixing a second polysaccharide into the aqueous premix after mixing the first polysaccharide into the aqueous premix to form a structured aqueous composition; and dispersing a plurality of particles into the structured aqueous composition to form the freshening composition.

The present invention relates to an anti-microbial finish on the fabrics. The present invention particularly relates to an antimicrobial microencapsulated fabric finish composition comprising Neem extract and Azadirachta derived from flower and fruits of Azadirachta indica. The invention relates an antimicrobial finish coat on fabrics, particularly Terry towels. Further the invention relates to method of finishing of fabric with antimicrobial composition of Azadiracta indica, to provide a durable and anti-microbial fabric, wherein the fabric is preferably terry towel and woven plain fabrics like sheetings and bed linen.

An electro-optic fiber including a conductive fiber, a layer of electro-optic medium on the conductive fiber, and a conductor on the layer of electro-optic medium. A method of making the electro-optic fiber including the steps of coating a conductive fiber with an electro-optic medium and applying a conductor to the electro-optic medium. The resulting fibers can be woven to create a color-changing material, such as a fabric.

A method of making a population of capsules, the capsules can include a core including a benefit agent and a shell surrounding the core, wherein the shell can include a first shell component.

A functionalized carpet for covering floorings, including an upper layer of needle punched fibres of the polymeric type in which there are gaps between the fibres and a lower reinforcing layer configured for retaining the fibres of the upper layer.

An improved process of making a benefit agent delivery particle and an improved microcapsule made by such process are disclosed. The process comprises the steps of providing a first composition of water phase 1, water phase 2, water phase 3 and an oil phase, where a water phase multifunctional (meth)acrylate monomer is selected to have a hydrophilicity index of least 25, or even at least 30 and the oil phase multifunctional (meth)acrylate monomer has a hydrophilicity index of 25 or less, or even 20 or less. The water phases comprise water, initiator, a water-soluble or dispersible amine(meth)acrylate or hydroxyl(meth)acrylate, a multifunctional (meth)acrylate and one water phase comprises water, carboxyalkyl(meth)acrylate and a base or quaternary ammonium acrylate. Water phases are combined to prereact the hydroxy- or amine(meth)acrylate and the multifunctional (meth)acrylate to form a multifunctional hydroxyl-amine(meth)acrylate pre-polymer. The pre-polymer is combined with the remaining water phase and an emulsion is formed by emulsifying under high shear agitation, an oil phase comprising a multifunctional (meth)acrylate monomer and a benefit agent core material thereby forming a wall surrounding the benefit agent core material.
