Encapsulation of Antifouling Organic Biocides in Poly(lactic acid) Nanoparticles

Encapsulation of Antifouling Organic Biocides in Poly(lactic acid) Nanoparticles

The scope of the current research was to assess the feasibility of encapsulating three commercial antifouling compounds, Irgarol 1051, Econea and Zinc pyrithione, in biodegradable poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanoparticles. The emulsification–solvent evaporation technique was herein utilized to manufactu...
