Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of pesticide slow-release technology, in particular to a bactericidal slow-release preparation containing chloronatron and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a broad-spectrum halogenated nitrile fungicide, chloronatron has good control effect on various fungal diseases, but its low water solubility, easy photolysis and short persistence limit its application efficiency in the field. Traditional suspension or emulsion formulations are sprayed by dispersing with surfactants, but there are problems such as initial burst leading to waste of efficacy and environmental load, insufficient persistence requiring frequent application, poor dispersion stability in high temperature and humidity environment, etc. Microcapsule slow-release technology is considered an effective way to solve the above contradictions, which regulates the release rate of active ingredients through the barrier effect of shell material. However, the existing pesticide microcapsule technology faces three coupled contradictions: first, the rheological contradiction between high solid content formula requirements and low viscosity processing window, high solid content can increase the content of effective ingredients but leads to rapid increase of system viscosity affecting pumping and spraying; second, the interface construction contradiction between dispersion stability and high encapsulation rate and low burst target, enhancing particle surface charge or steric hindrance can improve dispersion stability but may weaken the shell density; third, microcapsules need to maintain structural integrity under high shear conditions such as pumping and spraying, but too rigid shell will delay the initial release and affect the speed of effect.
[0003] There have been many attempts at pesticide slow-release microcapsules in the prior art. For example, Chinese patent CN108094283A discloses a polyurea microcapsule suspension agent, which forms a polyurea shell layer on the surface of pesticide droplets through interfacial polymerization, but this method requires the use of organic solvents and the shell thickness is difficult to accurately control. Chinese patent CN109770394A discloses a chitosan-sodium alginate complex coacervation method for preparing pesticide microcapsules, which utilizes the biocompatibility of polysaccharide materials to achieve slow release, but the complex coacervation system is sensitive to pH and lacks mechanical strength, and is easily broken under high shear conditions. The above technologies have not effectively solved the coupled contradictions between high solid content and low viscosity processing window, interface stability and high encapsulation rate, and mechanical strength and release rate. As a biomimetic material, polydopamine can spontaneously oxidize and polymerize under alkaline conditions and deposit on the surface of various materials, with excellent interfacial adhesion properties. In recent years, it has been applied to the surface modification of functional materials, but its application to the surface construction of pesticide nanoparticles to form a slow-release shell and further composite with chitosan ion cross-linking layer to form a double-shell cooperative structure to meet the above three technical requirements has not been reported. SUMMARY
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bactericidal sustained-release formulation containing bromodiphenyl ether and its preparation method, which solves the rheological contradiction of existing sustained-release pesticide suspension systems in which it is difficult to simultaneously achieve high solids content and low viscosity processing window, the contradiction of interface and shell construction in which it is difficult to simultaneously satisfy dispersion stability and anti-settling and high encapsulation efficiency and low burst release, and the coupling contradiction between the structural integrity of microcapsules and the initial release effect under high shear conditions such as pump spraying. Thus, it achieves controllable sustained release and sustained bactericidal effect of bromodiphenyl ether based on manufacturability and shelf stability.
[0005] This invention achieves the above objectives through a dual-shell synergistic design. The inner polydopamine shell is only 3-15 nanometers thick, and is deposited in situ on the surface of nanoscale bromocyanuric acid crystal particles by utilizing the oxidative polymerization properties of dopamine under alkaline conditions. This ultrathin rigid shell provides both an initial encapsulation barrier for the particles and a functionalized surface rich in amino and phenolic hydroxyl groups. The outer chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate ionic crosslinked shell forms a three-dimensional network structure through electrostatic crosslinking of chitosan cations and sodium tripolyphosphate anions. This flexible hydrogel shell forms an interfacial bond with the inner polydopamine shell through hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions. The dual-shell synergistic mechanism is as follows: the polydopamine inner shell provides rigid support and interfacial anchoring, while the chitosan outer shell provides hydrophilic dispersion stability and a sustained-release barrier. The strong interfacial bond between the two layers ensures that the shell does not detach under high shear conditions, while the controllable swelling properties of the outer hydrogel achieve a balance between initial moderate release and subsequent sustained release.

[0014] Furthermore, the aqueous continuous phase also includes an antifreeze plasticizing component, which is selected from one or both of glycerol and propylene glycol, and is present in a quantity of 0.5-15 parts by weight.
[0015] As a concept of this invention, the dual-shell synergistic structure design is mainly used to enhance the rheological controllability, dispersion stability, and synergistic optimization of sustained-release formulations within the high-solids processing window. Specifically, the inner polydopamine shell is constructed based on the principle of biomimetic mineralization. Dopamine hydrochloride undergoes oxidative polymerization in a weakly alkaline environment, and the resulting polydopamine oligomers and nanoparticles spontaneously adsorb onto the surface of bromobenzoic acid crystal particles through hydrogen bonds, gradually depositing to form a dense shell with controllable thickness. This inner shell is only 3-15 nanometers thick, accounting for a very small proportion of the total microcapsule size, but its rigid aromatic structure imparts initial mechanical strength to the particles. At the same time, the surface of the shell is rich in catechol, amino, and other active groups, providing multiple anchoring points for subsequent chitosan deposition. The construction of the outer chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate (TTPP) ionic cross-linked shell utilizes the electrostatic attraction between the positive charge of the protonated amino groups on the chitosan molecular chain and the sodium tripolyphosphate anion. Under weakly acidic conditions, the dropwise addition of TTPP induces the chitosan molecular chain to cross-link and solidify on the surface of the core-shell particles, forming a three-dimensional network hydrogel structure. The outer shell and inner polydopamine layer are bonded at the interface through hydrogen bonding between the chitosan amino groups and the polydopamine phenolic hydroxyl groups, electrostatic interactions between chitosan and polydopamine, and potential hydrophobic interactions, ensuring that the double shell does not delaminate during high-shear pumping and spraying. The synergistic mechanism of the double shell allows the microcapsules to maintain low-viscosity suspension rheological properties within a solid content range of 5-60 wt%. The outer hydrophilic chitosan provides charge repulsion and steric hindrance stability, inhibiting microcapsule sedimentation and aggregation. Simultaneously, the double shell achieves an encapsulation rate of 80-99% for bromodiphenyl ether, and the synergistic effect of the inner rigid barrier and the outer hydrogel swelling and controlled release achieves a balance between initial low burst release and long-term sustained release.
[0016] This invention also discloses a method for preparing a bactericidal sustained-release formulation containing bromodiphenyl ether, comprising the following steps: S1. Provides intermediate II, chitosan solution, sodium tripolyphosphate solution, pH adjuster, and sodium hydroxide aqueous solution with a concentration of 0.1-2.0 mol / L, wherein intermediate II is a bromobenzoic acid crystal particle dispersion with a polydopamine shell on the surface, and the pH adjuster is selected from one or two of hydrochloric acid aqueous solution with a concentration of 0.1-2.0 mol / L and acetic acid aqueous solution with a concentration of 0.1-2.0 mol / L; S2. Based on 100 parts of bromodiphenyl ether in intermediate II, the mass of chitosan is 5-80 parts, the mass of sodium tripolyphosphate is 0.5-80 parts, and the mass ratio of chitosan to sodium tripolyphosphate is 1:0.05-1:1. S3. At 15-35 °C, in air atmosphere, and under normal pressure, intermediate II is added to the chitosan solution and stirred for 10-60 min; while maintaining the pH of the system at 4.0-6.5, the sodium tripolyphosphate solution is added dropwise to the mixture over 10-120 min and stirring is continued for 30-180 min to form an ionic cross-linked shell; subsequently, the pH of the system is adjusted to 6.0-8.0 using the sodium hydroxide aqueous solution with a concentration of 0.1-2.0 mol / L to obtain a suspension of intermediate III; S4. The suspension of intermediate III is mixed evenly with the dispersion stabilizing component and the aqueous continuous phase to obtain a bactericidal sustained-release formulation containing bromodiphenyl ether.

[0020] Furthermore, the median particle size D50 in A4 is determined using a laser particle size analyzer.
[0021] Furthermore, in A5, a sieve with a pore size of 100-500 µm is used to remove the grinding beads, and the degassing is performed using vacuum degassing with a vacuum degree of 5-40 kPa absolute pressure and a degassing time of 5-30 min.
[0022] Furthermore, the solid content in A6 was determined by drying at 105 °C to constant weight, and the pH was determined using a pH meter at 25 °C.
[0023] Furthermore, after adding intermediate I to B3, the pH of the system is measured and adjusted to 8.0-8.8 using the pH adjuster, and the pH of the system is maintained at 8.0-8.8 during the reaction.
[0024] Furthermore, the stirring in B3 is mechanical stirring, with a stirring speed of 300-1500 r / min.
[0025] Furthermore, the thickness of the polydopamine shell in B4 was determined by transmission electron microscopy.
[0026] Furthermore, B5 is prepared by centrifugation and washing to remove free components. The centrifugation conditions are 3000-20000 g, the centrifugation time is 5-30 min, and the number of repetitions is 1-5.

[0030] Furthermore, the solid content in C6 is determined by drying at 100-105 °C to constant weight.
[0031] Furthermore, in D3, a pH meter is used to monitor the pH of the system online, and the pH of the system is maintained at 4.0-6.5 by adding the pH adjuster.
[0032] Furthermore, the dropping rate of the sodium tripolyphosphate solution in D3 is 0.05-10 mL / min.
[0033] Furthermore, the stirring in D3 is mechanical stirring, with a stirring speed of 300-1500 r / min.
[0034] Furthermore, the D5 is washed by centrifugation to reduce the content of free inorganic salts. The centrifugation conditions are 500-5000 g, the centrifugation time is 5-30 min, and the number of repetitions is 1-5 times until the conductivity of the supernatant is less than or equal to 5 mS / cm.
[0035] Furthermore, the mixing in S4 is mechanical stirring, with a mixing temperature of 15-35 ℃, a mixing time of 10-60 min, and a stirring speed of 300-1500 r / min.
[0036] As another aspect of this invention, a three-step intermediate route is employed to enhance the quality controllability and process robustness of the double-shell microcapsule preparation process. The core of this method lies in decoupling the complex double-shell construction process into three intermediate stages with clearly defined quality control nodes. Each stage has clearly defined endpoint criteria and quality control indicators to ensure batch-to-batch stability of the final product performance. In intermediate stage I, bromocyanidin crystals are pulverized to a median particle size of 0.2-0.8 micrometers using wet milling. This nanoscale size ensures both the uniformity of subsequent shell coating and the final microcapsule size within the suitable spraying range of 1-10 micrometers. The combined use of dispersing and stabilizing components during milling synergistically provides electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance stability, inhibiting the agglomeration and regeneration of nanoparticles. In the intermediate II stage, polydopamine is deposited in situ in a weakly alkaline tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane buffer solution. By controlling the amount of dopamine hydrochloride (0.2-10 parts), the reaction temperature (20-30 degrees Celsius), the pH (8.0-8.8), and the reaction time (1-6 hours), the thickness of the polydopamine shell can be precisely controlled within the range of 3-15 nanometers. This ultrathin shell does not excessively increase the microcapsule size, and the residual amount of free dopamine is reduced to 0.01-0.5 wt% through subsequent washing to avoid its interference with the cross-linking of the outer layer. In intermediate stage III, a chitosan ion-crosslinked shell is constructed under weakly acidic conditions using a dropwise addition method. By controlling the amount of chitosan (5-80 parts), sodium tripolyphosphate (0.5-80 parts), crosslinking pH (4.0-6.5), drop rate (0.05-10 mL / min), and crosslinking time (30-180 minutes), the shell thickness and crosslinking density can be adjusted to achieve a balance between encapsulation efficiency (80-99%) and sustained-release performance. Finally, adjusting the pH to 6.0-8.0 terminates the crosslinking reaction and imparts suitable storage stability to the product. The advantage of the three-step method compared to the one-step method is that each intermediate can be independently characterized and quality controlled. In case of anomalies, the problematic step can be quickly located and parameters adjusted, significantly improving the yield and batch consistency of industrial production.
[0037] The synergistic mechanism of the components in the double-shell structure of this invention is as follows: Bromhexanil crystal particles act as the functional core, providing bactericidal activity. Their nanoscale size of 0.2-0.8 micrometers ensures a high specific surface area to promote bactericidal contact after release and provides a suitable substrate for uniform shell coating. The polydopamine inner shell is tightly bound to the bromhexanil crystal surface through van der Waals forces and possible hydrogen bonds. This rigid aromatic shell, though thin (3-15 nanometers) in thickness, is dense and provides a certain barrier to water molecule penetration, significantly reducing initial burst release. Simultaneously, the catechols and amino groups abundant on the polydopamine surface provide multiple anchoring sites for the outer chitosan layer. The chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate ion-crosslinked outer shell forms an interface with the inner layer through hydrogen bonding between the protonated amino groups of chitosan and the phenolic hydroxyl groups of polydopamine, electrostatic interactions between chitosan and polydopamine, and potential hydrophobic interactions. This multi-layered interaction ensures that the double shell does not delaminate under high shear conditions. The hydrophilicity of the outer hydrogel network endows the microcapsules with excellent dispersion stability, and its controllable swelling properties achieve a sustained-release barrier function. Water molecules must first permeate and swell the outer hydrogel before diffusing through the inner polydopamine barrier to dissolve and release bromobenzonitrile. This dual barrier synergistically achieves sustained release. In the dispersion stabilizing components, sodium dodecyl sulfate or Tween 80 provides interfacial activity to reduce interfacial tension, while sodium lignosulfonate, sodium polyacrylate, or sodium carboxymethyl cellulose provides charge repulsion and thickening stability. The multi-component compound can synergistically optimize suspension rheology and anti-sedimentation properties.
[0038] Beneficial technical effects 1. This invention effectively resolves the rheological contradiction between high solids content and low viscosity processing window in slow-release pesticide suspension systems through a dual-shell synergistic structure design. The inner polydopamine shell is only 3-15 nanometers thick, while the hydrophilicity and charge stability of the outer chitosan ion-crosslinked shell enable the microcapsules to maintain low viscosity suspension rheology within a solids content range of 5-60 wt%, making them suitable for pumping, filling, and spraying operations. Compared to traditional single-shell microcapsules, they exhibit lower viscosity at the same solids content, significantly improving the processing window width and manufacturing efficiency.
[0039] 2. The strong interfacial bonding mechanism of the double-shell interface in this invention endows the microcapsules with excellent mechanical strength and structural integrity. Multiple interfacial bonds formed between polydopamine and chitosan through hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions ensure that the shells of the microcapsules do not detach or break under high shear conditions such as pumping and spraying. Experiments show that after high-speed stirring at 5000 r / min for 30 minutes, the encapsulation efficiency of the microcapsules remains above 75%, while the encapsulation efficiency of traditional composite microcapsules with weak interfacial bonding drops to below 40% under the same conditions. This invention significantly improves the robustness of sustained-release formulations in practical applications.
[0040] 3. The dual-barrier sustained-release mechanism of this invention achieves a balance between low initial burst release and long-lasting sustained release. The inner rigid polydopamine shell acts as a barrier to water molecule penetration, while the controllable swelling properties of the outer hydrogel network provide an adjustable sustained-release barrier. The synergistic effect of the two shells controls the cumulative release rate of bromodiphenyl ether at 15-46% in 24 hours and reaches 60-90% in 96 hours. Compared with the burst release rate of more than 80% in 24 hours of shell-less suspensions, this invention significantly prolongs the bactericidal effect, reduces the frequency of application by 30-50%, and reduces environmental impact.
[0041] 4. This invention employs a three-step intermediate preparation method, with clearly defined quality control indicators and endpoint criteria for each stage to ensure batch-to-batch stability of the final product performance. Intermediates I, II, and III are controlled by median particle size, shell thickness, and encapsulation efficiency as core quality control parameters, respectively. In industrial production, the standard deviation of encapsulation efficiency between batches can be controlled within 3%, significantly better than the batch fluctuations exceeding 10% of traditional one-step methods, thus improving the quality controllability and commercial feasibility of sustained-release formulations.
[0042] 5. The shell materials used in this invention, polydopamine and chitosan, are both natural or biomimetic materials with good biocompatibility. Their degradation products are environmentally friendly and have lower ecological risks compared to petroleum-based shell materials such as polyurea and polyamide. This aligns with the trend of green development in pesticide formulations and is suitable for disease control needs in environmentally sensitive areas or agricultural scenarios with high requirements for ecological risk control.

[0120] Test objects: Intermediate II (bromodiphenyl ether crystal particles with a polydopamine shell) and Intermediate III (core-shell sustained-release microcapsules). Test objective: To characterize the surface elemental composition and chemical state using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and to verify the formation of the polydopamine shell and the chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate cross-linked shell. Test principle: X-rays excite inner-shell electrons of the sample surface atoms to generate photoelectrons. The elemental type and chemical state are identified by measuring the photoelectron binding energy. Experimental method: After freeze-drying, the samples were pressed into pellets and fixed on the sample stage. The full-spectrum and high-resolution spectra of C 1s, N 1s, O 1s, and P 2p were measured using an XPS photoelectron spectrometer (e.g., Thermo Fisher ESCALAB250Xi, Al Kα source 1486.6 eV) under ultra-high vacuum (<10^-7 Pa). The charge effect was corrected with C 1s = 284.8 eV. The scan range was 0-1200 eV, and the energy step was 0.1 eV. Key parameters: Excitation source Al Kα 1486.6 eV, vacuum degree <10^-7 Pa, energy resolution <0.5 eV. Data processing: High-resolution spectra were fitted using XPS Peak software to calculate the atomic percentages of surface elements and N / C and P / N ratios, verifying the shell chemical composition.
[0121] Figure 1 For FTIR (full spectrum 4000–400 cm⁻¹) -1 The infrared spectrum overlay was obtained, and the characterization method was Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The comparison samples were Example 1, Comparative Example 2, chitosan, and polydopamine. The fixed parameters were a wavenumber range of 4000 cm⁻¹. -1 Up to 400 cm-1 Transmittance was plotted on the vertical axis, using the same coordinate scale and data processing method, with the sample category as the variable parameter. Example 1 exhibited composite characteristics in the characteristic absorption ranges of chitosan and polydopamine, and compared to Comparative Example 2, showed a more significant enhancement in chitosan-related absorption characteristics (including changes in the chitosan-inherent amide nitrogen / residual acetyl-related range). This can be used to corroborate that chitosan-related components are more fully covered / bound on the sample surface, thus supporting the correctness of the scheme.
[0122] Figure 2 For FTIR (magnification region 1800–1400 cm⁻¹) -1 The infrared spectra of the samples were magnified and compared. The characterization method was Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The comparison samples were Example 1, Comparative Example 2, chitosan, and polydopamine. The fixed parameters were a wavenumber range of 1800 cm⁻¹. -1 Up to 1400 cm -1 Transmittance is displayed on the vertical axis, using the same magnification window and normalization method, with the variation parameter representing the sample category. In Example 1, the peak shape and intensity in the amide-related absorption region are more prominent than in Comparative Example 2, and the peaks show enhanced consistency with the chitosan characteristic region. This indicates a more pronounced signal response from the nitrogen-containing functional groups associated with chitosan and more complete interfacial binding, demonstrating that the structural design of Example 1 has a verifiable spectroscopic response in the key functional group region, thus supporting the correctness of the scheme.
[0123] Figure 3 The XPS N 1s spectra are compared between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2. The characterization method was X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The comparison samples were Example 1 and Comparative Example 2. Fixed parameters included the binding energy range of 394 eV to 406 eV, the same peak decomposition model, the same background processing method, and the same coordinate scale for displaying the original and fitted total spectra. The variable parameter was the sample category. In Example 1, the N 1s spectrum showed a relatively higher proportion of amide nitrogen components, and the fitted total spectrum matched the original spectrum well. This indicates a significant increase in the nitrogen proportion in the amide-containing environment and self-consistent chemical state distribution. This suggests that Example 1 had a higher proportion of nitrogen chemical environment signals related to the inherent amide nitrogen / residual acetyl groups on the chitosan surface, which can be used to corroborate more complete chitosan-related shell coverage, thus supporting the correctness of the scheme.
[0124] Figure 4 is a comparative bar chart of nitrogen component proportions based on XPS N 1s peak decomposition results. The characterization method is the statistical analysis of component proportions based on XPS N 1s peak decomposition results. The comparison samples are Example 1 and Comparative Example 2. The fixed parameters are the same component definition and the same peak area normalization calculation method. The vertical axis represents the percentage of amide nitrogen, and the variable parameter is the sample category. The amide nitrogen proportion of Example 1 is 42.5%, while that of Comparative Example 2 is 5.2%. This shows that Example 1 significantly improves the amide nitrogen proportion, proving that the surface chemical modification of Example 1 is more effective and consistent with the conclusion of the spectrum fitting, thus supporting the correctness of the scheme.
[0125] Figure 5 The XPS depth profile waterfall (Example 1) was characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth profiling. The sample was from Example 1. Fixed parameters included a binding energy range of 394 eV to 406 eV, the same spectral processing method, and the display of signals at different depths in a staggered manner. Variations were achieved using sputtering time from 0 s to 30000 s. The overall signal gradually decreased with increasing sputtering time while maintaining consistent spectral shape, indicating that nitrogen-containing chemical states were mainly enriched at the surface and gradually weakened inwards. Furthermore, no abrupt changes in chemical state types were observed, demonstrating that Example 1 formed an effective functional surface layer with a stable structure, supporting the correctness of the proposed scheme.
[0126] Figure 6 This is a depth intensity distribution heatmap of XPS depth profiling (Example 1). The characterization method is two-dimensional visualization of the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth profiling results. The sample is Example 1. Fixed parameters are: horizontal axis binding energy range of 394 eV to 406 eV, vertical axis sputtering time range of 0 s to 30000 s, and the same intensity mapping rule. The varying parameters are sputtering time and binding energy position. The heatmap shows that the intensity is higher in the surface region and continuously decreases with increasing depth. The main intensity distribution band is consistent with the N1s characteristic region, proving that the functional nitrogen-containing signal has a clear depth gradient and repeatable energy distribution characteristics, thus supporting the correctness of the scheme.
[0127] Figure 7 This is a superimposed HPLC-UV chromatogram (Example 1 vs. Comparative Example 7), characterized by HPLC-UV detection. The comparison samples were Example 1 and Comparative Example 7. Fixed parameters included retention time range of 0 min to 30 min, UV absorbance as the detection signal, the same chromatographic display scale, and the same processing method. The variable parameter was the sample category. Example 1 showed a more concentrated main peak and lower impurity peak signals, while Comparative Example 7 exhibited more pronounced impurity peak responses near and after the main peak. This indicates that Example 1 had a higher proportion of the main component and fewer degradation or byproducts, demonstrating that the method can improve sample purity and suppress impurity formation, thus supporting the correctness of the method.
[0128] As can be seen from the performance of the examples and comparative examples in Table 1, Examples 1-4 achieved excellent sustained-release performance and stability through the double-shell structure design of core-shell sustained-release microcapsules. Among them, the half-release times (t50) of Examples 3 and 4 reached 98.5 hours and 105.8 hours, respectively, which were significantly longer than those of the comparative examples. The cumulative release rate after 24 hours was controlled at a low level of 16-18%, and the cumulative release rate after 96 hours was 61-65%, exhibiting typical sustained-release characteristics. The encapsulation efficiency of the examples was generally higher than that of the comparative examples. The encapsulation efficiency of Examples 3 and 4 reached over 95%, which is attributed to the polymerization... The synergistic effect of the dopamine shell and the chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate cross-linked shell; Comparative Example 1, due to its low microcapsule content (3 parts by weight), showed a significant decrease in sustained-release effect, with a 24-hour release rate as high as 82.6%, a half-release time of only 8.2 hours, and an encapsulation efficiency of 72.3%; Comparative Examples 3 and 4, lacking either a polydopamine shell or an ionic cross-linked shell, respectively, exhibited significantly deteriorated sustained-release performance, with half-release times of 15.6 and 18.3 hours, and encapsulation efficiencies of 76.8% and 68.2%, respectively, demonstrating the importance of the dual-shell structure for sustained-release performance and encapsulation stability; Examples 54 After 28 days of accelerated aging at ℃, the retention rate of active ingredients was higher than 94%, with Example 4 reaching 98.3%, while the retention rate of Comparative Examples 1-7 was 78-89%, indicating that the double-shell structure significantly improved storage stability. Zeta potential data showed that the absolute values of Examples 3 and 4 were higher than -32 mV, and the high surface charge density was beneficial to dispersion stability. However, the absolute value of the Zeta potential of Comparative Example 3 dropped to -18.5 mV due to the lack of a polydopamine shell, resulting in decreased dispersion stability.
