Surface Modification of Materials by Atmospheric-Pressure Plasma to Improve Impregnation with Essential Oils for the Control of <i>Tropilaelaps</i> Mites in Honeybees (<i>Apis mellifera</i>)

Surface Modification of Materials by Atmospheric-Pressure Plasma to Improve Impregnation with Essential Oils for the Control of <i>Tropilaelaps</i> Mites in Honeybees (<i>Apis mellifera</i>)

In this research, the absorption and release rate of the essential oil, <i>Amomum krervanh</i>, by seven different materials were evaluated. Cardboard showed the highest EO absorption capacity (0.93 ± 0.0052 μL of oil/mg of dry cardboard) followed by balsa wood and drawing board with the...
