The fragrant fabrics were prepared by treatment with eucalyptus microcapsules. 100% cotton fabric, 100% polyester fabric and 100% wool fabric were used as test specimens. Using pad-dry-cure method, microcapsules were attached on each specimen by acrylic binder under conditions of varying concentration. Surface property, stiffness, and air permeability of fragrant fabrics were evaluated. As increasing concentration of binder, add-on yield was increased. Add-on yield was decreased with increasing laundering cycle, especially in polyester fabric. As the concentration of binder was increased, the properties of stiffness and air permeability were decreased. Also it fumed out that pad-dry-cure method was not suitable to polyester fabric.

Polystyrene microcapsules were prepared by microencapsulation technique of solvent-evaporation. These microcapsules were characterized by Infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and shape analysis. Fragrant water was used as a core material. Thermal and pH stabilities of polystyrene microcapsules were relatively excellent. And functional finishing on cotton fabric with microcapsules was applied.

This study investigated EEG signal, subjective fragrance sensation, and the preference of differently colored cotton knit treated with Citrus unshiu oil containing microcapsules as well as examined their relationships for providing regression models on subjective fragrance preference. Color variables combining 2-level hue (Yellow and Green) and 3-level tone (strong, pale, and grayish) were applied by dyeing prior to microcapsule treatment. We invited 28 female college students aged 20's for EEG signal experiments and subjective fragrance sensations with fragrant knit by rubbing. EEG signals at $mid-{\alpha}$, $fast-{\alpha}$, and $low-{\beta}$ showed significant differences depending on color; Green had more relative power values and grayish tone did more at $low-{\beta}$. Even though subjective sensation showed no significant differences depending on color, some of them such as Fresh, Comfort, and Natural showed significant correlations with EEG signal at $low-{\beta}$, which means that the fragrance sensations of Citrus unshiu fragrance are concerned with attention and alertness for Koreans. Fragrance preference was regressed significantly using some EEG signals and subjective sensation. The results could be utilized to value up fragrant textiles by Citrus unshiu oil.
