Preparation and Research of Butylene Fipronil Microencapsulation by Layer-by-Layer Polyelectrolyte Self-Assembly

Abstract

This paper introduced the preparation of butylene fipronil-loaded microcapsules with oppositely charged chitosan and sodium lignosulfonate as shell materials. It summed up the performance, preparation methods of microcapsules and sketched the application status of layer-by-layer self-assembly. The whole progress of the preparation was controlled by measuring the change of the Zeta potential and the morphology of microcapsules was characterized by microscope and SEM. Entrapment efficiency and slow release performance of the microcapsule were determined as measurement index. The results of experiment showed that the surface of the microcapsules was rougher than the butylene fipronil particles. With the increasing layer number of assembly, the entrapment efficiency reduced while the slow release performance increased. After encapsulation, the photodegradation rate of butylene fipronil under the UV decreased obviously. Results showed that the condition of preparation was the best when NaCl with the concentration of 0.5 mol/L and PH of 5.0.
