Fragrances are widely used in everyday life. However, too fast volatilization rates and poor adhesion on substrates limit their applications. In this study, reactive nano-fragrance based on cyanuric chloride (CYC)-modified chitosan (CSCYC) were prepared by a solvent evaporation method. First, CS-CYC was synthesized. Subsequently, CS and CS-CYC were utilized to prepare nano-fragrances. The results demonstrated that adding CS and CS-CYC could significantly improve the fragrance encapsulation efficiency and reduce the release rate of phenylethanol. phenylethanol Moreover, the adhesion of nano-capsules on commodities was improved with CS by forming hydrogen bonds. CYC on the surface of the nanocapsules further enhanced the conglutination of nano-fragrances on commodities by a condensation reaction with wallpaper. Additionally, the addition of both CS and CS-CYC imparted antibacterial activity for the nano-fragrances against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria with excellent biosafety. Therefore, the reactive nano-fragrances with antimicrobial activity and slow-release properties could provide a comfortable and healthy living environment, making them have vast application potential.
