Release of Volatile Compounds from Polymeric Microcapsules Mediated by Photocatalytic Nanoparticles

In this study we propose a suitable method for the solar-activated controlled release of volatile compounds from polymeric microcapsules bonded with photocatalytic nanoparticles. These reservoirs can find applications, for example, in the controlled release of insecticides, repellents, or fragrances...
