Abstract:
1. A fiber material having improved malodor scavenging properties, comprising: (a) fibers; and (b) dispersed within the fibers, an effective malodor scavenging amount of a cyclodextrin material; wherein the cyclodextrin is free of an inclusion complex compound and the cyclodextrin comprises one of an α-cyclodextrin, a β-cyclodextrin, a γ-cyclodextrin and mixtures thereof, having one of pendant moieties and substituents that render the cyclodextrin compatible with the fiber material, wherein the fibers are made by electrospinning a polymer solution containing the malodor scavenging amount of the cyclodextrin, the cyclodextrin comprising at least one substituent having an alkyl ether group.
