A Near-Infrared and Temperature-Responsive Pesticide Release Platform through Core–Shell Polydopamine@PNIPAm Nanocomposites

Controlled stimuli-responsive release systems are a feasible and effective way to increase the efficiency of pesticides and help improve environmental pollution issues. However, near-infrared (NIR)-responsive systems for encapsulation of pesticides for controlling release have not been reported because of high cost and load ability of conventional NIR absorbers as well as complicated preparation process. Herein, we proposed polydopamine (PDA)...
