The incorporation of the synthesised microcapsules into two reference materials, commonly used as lining materials in
shoemaking (split leather and polyester textile), was evaluated. The footwear materials were padded through an aqueous finish water bath containing microcapsules without the addition of auxiliary products. A diluted microcapsule suspension was used (3:7 v/v of microcapsule suspension:water). The microcapsule applied materials were dried at room temperature
for 24 h.
