In the present study the nanocapsulation of Haloxyfop-R-methyl in poly(methyl methacrylate) was successfully performed. Poly(methyl methacrylate)/Haloxyfop-R-methyl nanocapsules were synthesized using a miniemulsion method and their surface morphology was studied by scanning electron microscopy and transition electron microscopy. The chemical characterization of nanocapsules was done by FT-IR spectroscopy. The herbicide loading and encapsulation efficiency were also analyzed for the herbicide-loaded nanocapsules. In order to evaluate the toxic effects of nanocapsulated herbicide and pure herbicide on Lemna minor L., some physiological effects of these two compounds were investigated. |
