[EN] The aim of this work was to develop a functional biodegradable nonwoven
with antimicrobial microcapsules maintaining the stability and biodegradability
of the nonwoven for use in agriculture applications. The nonwoven was
obtained using hemp fibers by Wetlaid technology. Microcapsules were prepared
by co-extrusion/gelling method with alginate as shell and oregano oil as
core material. The microcapsules were developed to protect and control release
of oregano oil. Microcapsules were incorporated on the nonwoven by
coating method using a natural polymer as a graft material. After incorporating
microcapsules, the nonwoven was subjected to several tests in order to
determinate the microcapsules fixation and their functionality. The nonwovens
were characterized for their antimicrobial activity against different kinds
of bacteria and fungi. Nonwoven loaded with microcapsules was found to
show good antimicrobial activity in comparison with nonwoven that was not
loaded with microcapsules.
