Abstract

In this article, microcapsules obtained using microcapsulation technology were applied to footwear materials using two methods to determine their antimicrobial effect. Microcapsules were obtained from Laurel oil and chitosan solutions. Laurel essential oil is a natural material of plant origin and contains a large amount of antibacterial components. Chitosan is also used as an antibacterial agent, in particular as antiseptic materials. Microcapsules applied to leather and footwear lining materials by spraying and dip-coating methods were studied against the Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Candida albicans ATCC 90028. As a result, activity against bacterial strains was detected in footwear materials of people with pathological foot deviations that require an antimicrobial environment.
