Abstract Widespread use of plant protection agents in agriculture is a major cause pollution. Apart from active ingredients, the environmental impact auxiliary synthetic polymers should be minimized if they are highly persistent. An alternative to natural polysaccharides, which abundant and biodegradable. In this study, we explore p ectin m icrogels functionalized with nchor eptides (P‐MAPs) used as an biobased pesticide delivery system. Using copper ingredient, P‐MAPs effectively prevented...
Surface-active polymers have important applications as effective and responsive emulsifiers, foaming agents, coatings. In this contribution, we explore the impact of polymer architecture on behavior at oil-water interfaces by comparing different poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM)-based systems, namely, monolayers linear star-shaped macromolecules, ultralow cross-linked, regular hollow microgels. Compression isotherms were determined experimentally well computer simulations. The latter...
