Cosmetic Textiles–A New Functionality of Clothes
Cyclodextrins form complexes with a large number of different organic compounds such as cosmetic and pharmaceutical substances. Textile materials with permanently fixed cyclodextrins may act as delivery systems for these compounds. Skin compounds complexed within these cyclodextrins can be released and reloaded, but some problems still have to be solved.

Smart Materials for Triggerred Release of Cosmetics
Smart polymers can be engineered to contain reactive molecules, commonly dubbed “molecular switches,” that respond to external stimuli and cause systemic changes to the polymer structure. The specificity of a molecular switch to a single stimulus is critical for controlled release, although multi-triggered systems capable of responding to systematic stimuli are being developed for advanced applications. Herein the authors describe several stimuli-responsive materials that have potential applications for personal care and related biomedical fields.
