Polymeric nanoencapsulation of insect repellent: Evaluation of its bioefficacy on Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito population and effective impregnation onto cotton fabrics for insect repellent clothing

Polymeric nanoencapsulation of insect repellent: Evaluation of its bioefficacy on Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito population and effective impregnation onto cotton fabrics for insect repellent clothing

Diethylphenylacetamide (Bulk-DEPA), an organic insect repellent was subjected to Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) polymerization followed by Phase Inversion Temperature (PIT) emulsification method to yield the polymeric nanodroplets of DEPA (Nano-DEPA). The mean hydrodynamic diameter was found to be 149 ...
