  Abstract

In this study, poly(琯-caprolactone) lipid-core nanocapsules containing cinnamaldehyde were prepared by interfacial deposition of pre-formed polymer and used for the first time in mosquito-repellent spray formulations on cotton, polyester and tetoron cotton fabrics. The synthesized nanocapsules formulations were characterized by dynamic light scattering and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses. The retention of cinnamaldehyde-loaded lipid-core nanocapsules (Cin-LNCs) on cotton and polyester fabrics, before and after washing and heating, was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-Vis spectrometry. The repellency effect of fabrics treated with the Cin-LNC formulation against mosquitoes was evaluated in the laboratory using the Excito chamber method and in field trials conducted on rubber farms. The SEM images and UV-Vis spectrometry results suggested that the fabrics treated with the Cin-LNC formulation showed outstanding resistance to washing and heating. No skin irritation by treated fabrics was recorded in human volunteers who took part in a 4-hour patch test. The treated fabrics exhibited good mosquito repellency (greater than 96 %) and were still able to offer around 30 % repellency even after five cycles of washing and heating. The results indicate that the use of poly(琯- caprolactone) lipid-core nanocapsules is a promising technique to improve the fastness and longevity of repellents on functional textiles for insect control.
