Polymer/clay nanocomposites have been under an extensive investigation for about 15
years. Traditional methods to modify the clay are usually limited to small organic cations …

Experimental formulations of herbicide metribuzin embedded in matrices of degradable
natural polymer poly (3-hydroxybutyrate)(P3HB) and its composites with poly (ethylene …

Clay-nanocomposite materials have been widely exploited as drug delivery systems, but
their application in agriculture is less explored. In clay-nanocomposite, the combination of …

Polymer/montmorillonite nanocomposites were prepared. Intercalation of 2-aminobenzene
sulfonic acid with aniline monomers into montmorillonite modified by cation was followed by …

A high yield (90%) in situ intercalative polymerisation of thiophene (TP) was achieved by
reacting TP with montmorillonite (MMT) clay alone—with much less pronounced Lewis …

ABSTRACT Polymer poly (3-hydroxybutyrate)[P (3HB)] has been used as a matrix in slow-
release formulations of the herbicide metribuzin (MET). Physical P (3HB)/MET mixtures in …

This important volume provides new research on the design and application of ecologically
safe formulations for protecting cultivated crops against pathogen-causing diseases and …

Slow-release formulations of the herbicide metribuzin (MET) embedded in the polymer
matrix of degradable poly-3-hydroxybutyrate [P (3HB)] in the form of microparticles, films …

The blending of lignin with polyethylene glycol (PEG) allowed us to obtain formulations with
controlled release properties in which metribuzin have been successfully trapped with …

Metribuzin (MTB) is a herbicide widely used for weed control in growing soybeans and other
crops and has been identified in many parts of the world as a groundwater contaminant. To …
