Commercial herbicide atrazine (AT) was first loaded into the lumen of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) in the amount of 9 wt %, and then the AT-loaded HNTs (HNTs-AT) were further incorporated into poly(vinyl alcohol)/starch composites (PVA/ST, with the weight ratio of 80/20) to construct a dual drug delivery system. AT loaded in nanotubes displayed much slower release from PVA/ST film in water than free AT; for example, the total release amount of AT from PVA/ST film with loaded AT was only 61% after 96 h, while this value reached 97% in PVA/ST film with free AT. The release behavior of AT from PVA/ST film with HNTs-AT was first dominated by the mechanism of matrix erosion and then by the mechanism of Fickian diffusion. In addition, combining HNTs and PVA/ST blends together in the controlled release of herbicide also reduced its leaching through the soil layer, which would be useful for diminishing the environmental pollution caused by pesticide.
商用除草剂莠去津(AT)首先以9 wt%的量载入埃洛石纳米管(HNTs)内腔,然后将载有AT的HNTs(HNTs-AT)进一步掺入聚乙烯醇/淀粉复合材料(PVA/ST,重量比为80/20)中,构建双药物递送系统。载入纳米管中的AT在水中从PVA/ST薄膜中的释放比游离AT慢得多;例如,载有AT的PVA/ST薄膜中AT的总释放量在96小时后仅为61%,而在含有游离AT的PVA/ST薄膜中该值达到97%。AT从含有HNTs-AT的PVA/ST薄膜中的释放行为首先由基质侵蚀机制主导,然后由菲克扩散机制主导。此外,在除草剂的控释中将HNTs与PVA/ST共混物结合在一起还减少了其通过土壤层的淋溶,这将有助于减少农药造成的环境污染。
