Odour diagnosis of nylon6-thyme oil as a fragrant Nanofiber mat in the presence of PAMAM dendrimer by E-nose Technique

In this paper the encapsulation of thyme oil as matrix particles in naylon-6 polymer with and without dendrimer(PAMAM-G2) has been investigated for various reasons like face masks application. in this case a polymeric composite with nylon6/thyme oil has been electrospun hardly with and without dendrimer. Thyme oil (5-10-17% wt) and PAMAM (2-10% wt) added to nylon6 polymer solution at constant elements. The electrospun nanofibers were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM), Electronic nose (E-nose).
