Pesticide-loaded microcapsules with spontaneous deformation on foliar micro/nanostructures are prepared based on biomimetics. The flexibility of the microcapsules can be controlled by adjusting the usage or types of small alcohols in the preparation system. The migration and distribution of small alcohols driven by amphiphilicity affect the interfacial polymerization process, resulting in improved flexibility of the microcapsules. The N-pentanol-loaded microcapsules exhibit strong scouring resistance, sustained release property, and persistent control effect against foliar diseases.
The foliar loss of pesticides causes serious utilization decline and environmental risk. On the basis of biomimetics, pesticide-loaded microcapsules (MCs) with spontaneous deformation on foliar micro/nanostructures, like the snail suction cup, are prepared by interfacial polymerization. By controlling the usage or types of small alcohols in the MC preparation system, the flexibility of MCs is tunable. Through the investigation of emulsions and MC structures, we discover that the migration and distribution of small alcohols driven by amphiphilicity affect the process of interfacial polymerization between polyethylene glycol and 4,4-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate. By hydrophobic modification of the polymer and competition for oil monomers of small alcohols, the thickness and compactness of shells are reduced, whereas the density of the core is increased. As a result of the regulation in structures, the flexibility of MCs is improved significantly. In particularly, the MCs-N-pentanol (0.1 mol kg-1) with the best flexibility show strong scouring resistance on varied foliar structures, sustained release property on the air/solid interface, and persistent control effect against foliar diseases. The pesticide-loaded soft MCs provide an effective way to improve pesticide foliar utilization.
