Abstract:

Two reactive hydroxyl groups made avermectin a component to prepare anionic polyurethane dispersant containing avermectin structure units. The structure of the resulting dispersant was characterized by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer and infrared spectrometer. Based on the structural similarity between the dispersant and avermectin, avermectin nano aqueous dispersion was fabricated via addition the solution of dispersant and avermectin into water. The influences of carboxyl content and the molecular weight of the dispersant on the particle size of the dispersion were investigated. The results indicated that smaller particles were obtained at higher carboxyl content and the dispersing ability was affected by the molecular weight of the dispersant. The transmission electron microscopic image of the dispersion revealed that almost spherical particles with most of the size in the range of 20—40 nm were formed. Moreover, the dispersion displayed high centrifugal stability and dilution stability.
