Self-assembling polymer particle release system

Self-assembly is defined as the ability of an active ingredient (Al), when mixed with a polymer or polymers (solid or liquid state), to form either a complex or a strong attraction with the polymer/polymers, which influences the controlled release of the total system. This Al-polymer interaction or...

More Information
Summary:Self-assembly is defined as the ability of an active ingredient (Al), when mixed with a polymer or polymers (solid or liquid state), to form either a complex or a strong attraction with the polymer/polymers, which influences the controlled release of the total system. This Al-polymer interaction or strong attraction can form in the solid state or in solution. The Al-polymer interaction also can form when applied to a filter paper, soil, seeds, or plant vegetation substrates, where the Al and polymer self-assembles into an Al-polymer-substrate matrix or complex that influences how the Al releases from the complex or matrix in a controlled manner.
