| description | Novel green natural composites comprising of BF immobilized in CS (BF-i-CS) were prepared and characterized by means of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). It was observed that BF is not grafted to but widely dispersed and immobilized within the CS matrix by physical mean. The effect of pH on the controlled-release behavior of BF-i-CS was investigated using 1- and 2-naphthol as model pesticides. The results revealed that the release amount was found higher in acidic medium followed by neutral and basic medium. On average, the release behavior of 1- and 2-naphthol was found controlled, consistent and prolonged over a period of 36 and 30 h, respectively. |
