Abstract:

Alginate-gelatin beads with dispersed droplets of a model pheromone, dodecyl acetate, were prepd. as a vehicle for slow release of pheromones into the atm. over a prolonged period of time. The beads are prepd. in two steps, the first being prepn. of an oil-in-water emulsion composed of dodecyl acetate as the oil phase and gelatin as the emulsifier, which provides steric stabilization. After mixing with alginate soln., this emulsion is embedded within beads by simple electrostatic crosslinking. Bead porosity at micrometric and nanometric scales plays an important role in controlling the release of dodecyl acetate. [on SciFinder(R)]
