Cationic Nano-Fragrance with Sustained Release Property for Neuroregulation
Abstract:
Silk is a kind of textile with Chinese characteristics and widely used in clothing, decoration, military and medical fields. Recently, fragrances have been applied to silk to relieve anxiety and stress. However, the problems of too strong aroma and short scent lasting time seriously restrict the development of aromatic silk. Herein, Cationic nanoparticles encapsulating with linalool were prepared to prolong the scent lasting time. The fragrance-loaded nanoparticles are tightly attached to the silk by electrostatic interaction between cationic nanoparticles and anionic silk. Besides, the cationic nanoparticles could slow the release rate of linalool, thus extending the fragrance retention time. Subsequently, fragrant silk has been proven to have an effect of relieving stress. Therefore, this fragrance-loaded cationic nanoparticles-added silk has potential application value.
