Poly(ethylene-co-vinylacetate)(EVA) microspheres were prepared by a thermally induced phase separation. The microsphere formation occurred by the nucleation and growth mechanism in the metastable region. The diluents used were toluene. The microsphere formation and growth was followed by the cloud point of the optical microscope measurement. The microsphere size, which was obtained by SEM observation and particle size analyzer, became decreased when the titanium dioxide($TiO_2$) concentration was higher. The deodorizing function of the prepared fabrics was studied by the determination of the decomposing capability for $NH_3$. The deodorant activity of these deodorizing fabrics was measured by chromogenic gas detector tubes. The deodorant activity of $NH_3$ increased with increasing $TiO_2$ concentration of EVA microsphere.
