  • Blooming of chlorfenapyr from polyethylene films 
    Mapossa, António Benjamim; Moyo, Dennis Simbarashe; Wesley-Smith, James; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Androsch, Rene (American Institute of Physics, 2020-11)
    FTIR, in ATR and in transmission modes, enabled the tracking of the migration of the insecticide Chlorfenapyr to the surface of a polymer film. It also allowed estimation of the apparent solubility in the polymer. However, ...
  • Blooming of insecticides from polyethylene mesh and film 
    Mapossa, António Benjamim; Sibanda, Mthokozisi Mayibongwe; Moyo, Dennis Simbarashe; Kruger, Taneshka; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Androsch, Rene; Boldt, Regine; Wesley-Smith, James (Taylor and Francis, 2021)
    Malaria remains a public health concern with vector control still the vital component of disease prevention, control, and elimination strategies. Recent years has seen a “stalling” in the progress made towards the reduction ...
  • Competition between liquid-liquid demixing, crystallization and glass transition in solutions of PLA of different stereochemistry and DEET 
    Sungkapreechaa, Chanita; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Androsch, Rene (Springer, 2020-02)
    Liquid-liquid (L-L) de-mixing and vitrification of solutions of either crystallizable poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) or non-crystallizable poly(D/L-lactic acid) (PDLLA) with 50 m% N, N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) were ...
  • Crystallization of nanocomposites of an isotactic random butene-1/ethylene copolymer and layered double hydroxide 
    Mollova, Ayret; Kolesov, Igor; Androsch, Rene; Labuschagne, F.J.W.J. (Frederick Johannes Willem Jacobus); Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Funari, Sergio S. (Springer, 2013-11)
    The effect of the presence of a layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanofiller on the crystallization behavior of a random isotactic butene-1/ethylene copolymer was investigated. Addition of LDH enhanced heterogeneous nucleation ...
  • Crystallization of polyamide 11 during injection molding 
    Jariyavidyanont, Katalee; Williams, Jason L.; Rhoades, Alicyn M.; Kuehnert, Ines; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Androsch, Rene (Wiley, 2018-07)
    The semicrystalline morphology of injection moldings of polyamide 11 (PA 11) prepared using mold temperatures of 25, 50, and 80°C was investigated. Regardless of the mold temperature, position‐resolved X‐ray diffraction ...
  • Effect of DEET on the crystallinity of bicomponent poly(lactic acid) monofilaments 
    Ferreira, I.V.W. (Ignatius); Leuteritz, Andreas; Brunig, Harald; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Androsch, Rene (American Institute of Physics, 2020-11)
    Reduction of malaria will require outdoor protection against infective mosquito bites. This might he provided by wearable mosquito repelling textiles, e.g., anklets that protect the lower limb regions. Towards this goal, ...
  • Microporous polyolefin strands as controlled-release devices for mosquito repellents 
    Mapossa, António Benjamim; Sibanda, Mthokozisi Mayibongwe; Sitoe, Alcides Everildo José; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Braack, L.E.O.; Ndonyane, Cyril; Mouatcho, Joel Claude; Smart, Jansie; Muaimbo, Herminio; Androsch, Rene; Loots, Mattheus Theodor (Elsevier, 2019-03)
    The main vectors of malaria in Africa, i.e. An. arabiensis, An. gambiae s.s. and An. funestus, are attracted by human foot odour and they tend to bite victims in the ankle area. Hence, affordable mosquito-repellent ...
  • Mosquito repellent microporous polyolefin strands 
    Mapossa, António Benjamim; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Sitoe, Alcides Everildo José; Androsch, Rene (American Institute of Physics, 2020-11)
    Pyrogenic silica and organoclay nanocomposite strands containing liquid mosquito repellents were prepared by twinscrew extrusion compounding. The mosquito repellents DEET and Icaridin were immobilized in the pores of a ...
  • Mosquito repellent thermal stability, permeability and air volatility 
    Mapossa, António Benjamim; Sitoe, Alcides Everildo José; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Izadi, Homa; Du Toit, Elizabeth Louisa; Androsch, Rene; Sungkapreecha, Chanita; Van der Merwe, E.M. (Elizabet Margaretha) (Wiley, 2020-03)
