Scientists develop sustainable insecticide using nanotechnology

Publicado em 31 julho 2024
Researchers from Embrapa and Unicamp encapsulated the insecticidal molecule thiamethoxam in nanometric structures A more effective and sustainable insecticide was developed by Embrapa Meio Ambiente (SP) in partnership with the Chemistry Institute of the State University of Campinas (Unicamp). The work resulted in a controlled release system for the insecticide molecule thiamethoxam. The encapsulation was carried out in polymeric nanomicelles, structures smaller than one billionth of a meter, [...]
