Cover Story: A microcapsule can effectively protect and control release by surrounding the core material of a wall. This is applied to various industrial fields, such as textile processing, drug delivery, and concrete self-healing. In this study, microcapsules were synthesized using ginseng oil, which has antibacterial and deodorizing properties, as a core material, which was processed into a fabric. The ginseng oil in the microcapsules was continuously released, confirmed the textile's excellent antibacterial and deodorizing properties. Ultimately, a highly hygienic textile was developed. View this paper
