Light-Responsive CNPPV-Conjugated Polymer Nanoherbicide for Controlled Release of Usnic Acid
We report a visible-light-activated nanobioherbicide based on the conjugated polymer poly(2,5-di(hexyloxy)cyanoterephthalylidene) (CNPPV) for the controlled delivery of the natural bioherbicide usnic acid (UA). The nanostructures were fabricated by an adapted nanoprecipitation method, yielding spherical nanoparticles w...
