A Preliminary Study on the Anti-Mosquito Nanocapsule

Article Preview

Abstract:

Anti-mosquito nanocapsules were prepared using the copolymer of styrene (ST) and ethyl acrylate (EA) as wall and deet as core by micro-emulsion polymerization. The mean particle size of nanocapsules was about 424nm and the loading of deet was about 73% under the conditions of 2% SDS as emulsifier and the ratio of core/wall 1:1. Scanning electron microscopy and laser particle size analyzer were employed to characterize the nanocapsules.
