Scientists invented the more fragrant fabrics when more sweat was absorbed

Certainly making your sweaty gym clothes smells like roses is not easy, but at least a recently invented fabric can make them have a pleasant lemon scent. .

Now, the inclusion of scent in cloth - like aromatherapy essential oil - is no longer a strange thing. But researchers have found a way to combine that idea with other ideas inspired by high-end smart fabrics.

Specifically, a team of engineers from Minho University in Portugal has successfully developed two methods to modify cotton fabric so that it emits citronella oil when exposed to sweat. They took advantage of a protein found in the pig's nose with the ability to bind to scent molecules. They also attached a carbohydrate link module to the cotton fabric. The second method is to utilize fat-like liposomes instead of proteins to bind the pleasant scent to the fabric.

This fabric is even more fragrant when exposed to sweat.

Cotton after being modified as above will emit scent when exposed to acid sweat solution. The dipped protein fabric extracted from the pig nose will emit scent in short bursts with high intensity, while the liposome dipped fabric will help deodorize the air with a slower emission of scent, with controlled intensity than.

" Both ways have great potential" - engineers say - "Textile products that combine aroma may be an effective deodorant product."

In addition, lemongrass is also used to block insects. It is a great success, as this interesting new fabric can both help you avoid mosquitoes, but also help eliminate bad odors on your body.
