“…In most polymer-clay nanocomposites, the most preferred material as a filler is montmorillonite (MMT) owing to its layered structure and rich intercalation chemistry (Osman et al, 2017;Martino et al, 2017;Chen et al, Quaternized, 2017;Hajibeygi et al, 2016;Penaloza et al, 2015;Marchante and Beltrán, 2015;Spoljaric et al, 2014;Valandro et al, 2013;Schauberger et al, 2013). An individual clay platelet in an MMT clay structure is about one nanometer thick.…”

Clay-based polymer nanocomposites have attracted considerable interest in recent years because of the intermarriage between organic and clay components at nanoscale measurement offers prospect of new and enhanced properties. Resulting nanomaterials are of practical importance in applications that require exceptional mechanical properties, remarkable thermal stability, and good barrier properties. This review paper highlights the benefits we can derive from the preparation of these nanomaterials.

Malaria is a principal cause of illness and death in countries where the disease is endemic. Personal protection against mosquitoes using repellents could be a useful method that can reduce and/or prevent transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. The available repellent products, such as creams, roll-ons, and sprays for personal protection against mosquitoes, lack adequate long-term efficacy. In most cases, they need to be re-applied or replaced frequently. The encapsulation and release of the repellents from several matrices has risen as an alternative process for the development of invention of repellent based systems. The present work reviews various studies about the development and use of repellent controlled-release formulations such as polymer microcapsules, polymer microporous formulations, polymer micelles, nanoemulsions, solid-lipid nanoparticles, liposomes and cyclodextrins as new tools for mosquito-borne malaria control in the outdoor environment. Furthermore, investigation on the mathematical modelling used for the release rate of repellents is discussed in depth by exploring the Higuchi, Korsmeyer-Peppas, Weibull models, as well as the recently developed Mapossa model. Therefore, the studies searched suggest that the final repellents based-product should not only be effective against mosquito vectors of malaria parasites, but also reduce the biting frequency of other mosquitoes transmitting diseases, such as dengue fever, chikungunya, yellow fever and Zika virus. In this way, they will contribute to the improvement in overall public health and social well-being.
