Abstract:Most
traditional pesticide formulations are prone to drift and
rebound, causing low effective utilization. In this study, a versatile
approach is reported to engineer coatings on mesoporous silica nanoparticles
(MCM-41) via the self-assembly of amine (e.g., polyethylenimine) and
quinone (e.g., 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) networks(AQN), a nanopesticide
(Av@MCM-41@AQN) for controlled avermectin (Av) release was prepared
to solve the above problems. The results showed that Av@MCM-41@AQN
particles had excellent… Show more
