Essential Oil for Mosquito Repellant Cloth Coating Formulation Development by Coacervation Technology

บทคัดย่อ

Mosquito-borne diseases like malaria, dengue, and Zika virus pose significant global health challenges, making the development of effective mosquito repellents crucial. One promising approach to combating these pests is the formulation of mosquito-repellent coatings for textiles using natural essential oils. This paper explores the development of a cloth coating formulation containing essential oils for mosquito repellency, utilizing coacervation technology to encapsulate the oils and enhance their long-lasting effect. Coacervation, a phase separation technique, allows for controlled release and stability of essential oils in fabric applications, offering a more sustainable and effective solution for mosquito repellency. The paper discusses the formulation process, key components, coacervation principles, and the performance of the Mosquito Repellant Cloth Coating Formulation.
