摘要: Abstract Chitosan nanocapsules, containing lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) oil (LGO), have been developed in gel form which acrylate (Ac) was incorporated as a thickener and fabric binder. The impregnated on to achieve long-lasting wash-durable mosquito repellency. interaction between cotton fibers investigated by FTIR XRD. Wash durability of compared with chitosan nanocapsules without (LGO-encap) using SEM GC-MS. analyses revealed that retains after series washing. GC-MS results indicated the relative amount deducible components from found be higher washing (LGO-encap-Ac), further points improved wash retention capsules fabric. bio-efficacy post-fifteen turned out 75% repellency against mosquitoes use acrylate; while acrylate, only 51% achieved. Furthermore, 36 days repeated application nanogel Swiss albino mice did not show any signs dermal toxicity. formulation is, thus, suitable impregnate dress military personals individuals who perform field duty where risk bites is probably more.
