Dual-Function Monoliths Prepared by Supercritical CO2 Foaming to Control Aedes aegypti
Aedes aegypti, a vector of dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika, is a major public health threat in Brazil and tropical countries; now, it is also in Europe. Tea tree oil (TTO) and curcuminoids (Cur) have shown larvicidal and repellent effects against A. aegypti. This study developed porous poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) monoliths with Pluronic F-68 (Plu) using the supercritical CO2 foaming method (SFM) for controlled TTO and Cur release. SFM conditions and monolith compositions were varied to modify monolith properties. Bioactive agents’ release was tested in water and air (gravimetric and wind tunnel) with volatiles persisting for over 15 days. Larvicidal and repellent tests were performed on A. aegypti colonies. This study prospects the TTO- and TTO-Cur-loaded PCL:Plu monoliths as emerging and sustainable biomaterials for mosquito control, acting as both larvicidal and insect repellents.
