This paper aims to investigate the prepared modified alkyd and poly(ester-amide) (PEA) resins as antimicrobial and insecticide binders for surface coating applications.

Salicylic diethanolamine and 4-(N, N-dimethylamino) benzylidene glutamic acid were prepared and used as new sources of polyol and dibasic acid for PEA and alkyd resins, then confirmed by: acid value, FT-IR and 1H-NMR. The coating performance of the resins was determined using measurements of physico-mechanical properties. The biological and insecticide activities of the prepared resins were investigated.

The tests carried out revealed that the modified PEA and alkyd enhanced both phyisco-mechanical and chemical properties in addition to the biological and insecticide activities. The results of this paper illustrate that the introduction of salicylic diethanolamine and 4-(N, N-dimethylamino) benzylidene glutamic acid within the resin structure improved the film performance and enhanced the antimicrobial activity performance of PEA and alkyd resins.

The modified alkyd and PEA organic resins can be used as biocidal binders when incorporated into paint formulations for multiple surface applications, especially those that are exposed to several organisms.

Modified alkyd and PEA resins based on newly synthesized modifiers have a significant potential to be promising in the production and development of antimicrobial and insecticide paints, allowing them to function to restrict the spread of insects and microbial infection.

Paper aims to Preparation and evaluation of isoxazole benzene sulfonamide derivatives and incorporated it with waterborne household paints to develop coating compositions as an insecticidal coating against Musca domestica adults.

The synthesized compounds were prepared and confirmed by different analyzes, fourier transform infra-red (FTIR), mass, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹HNMR) and Carbon 13 nuclear magnetic resonance (¹³CNMR) spectra. The prepared compound has been blended with waterborne household paint formulation, the physical and mechanical properties of the paint formulation has been studied. The efficiency of the isoxazole benzene sulfonamide derivatives when incorporated with waterborne paint against Culex quinquefasciatus and Mosquito house fly adults, also have been examined.

The obtained results of the paint formulations confirmed their best performance and providing good scrub resistance. Also, the finding promising results of the insecticide test of the paint formulation may be because of the biological activity of these compounds and containing sulfonamide, cyanide and free aromatic amine groups comparing with the standard recommended organophosphorus insecticide. The order activity increase with increasing the dose concentration of the isoxazole derivatives and the activity of chemical compounds itself is represented in terms of their medium lethal concentrations LC50 (LC90), which recorded 0.90(1.62), 0.89(1.61) and 0.86(1.56) g/ml for 5, 3 and 4 chemical compounds, respectively, after 72 h from treatment.

These types of organic compounds are friendly environmentally and can be used as a biocide with different types of paint formulations.

Insecticide waterborne household paints based on isoxazole benzene sulfonamide derivatives as insecticide agents are novel.

AT the request of the Crown Agents for the Colonies investigations were made into the possibility of improving the Standard Specification No. 40 (revised February 1937) on methods for protecting the bindings of books from attacks by insects and fungi.

This study aims to focus on the preparation and characterization of the silver nanowire (AgNWs), as well as their application as antimicrobial and antivirus activities either with incorporation on the waterborne coating formulation or on their own.

Prepared AgNWs are characterized by different analytical instruments, such as ultraviolet-visible spectroscope, scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction spectrometer. All the paint formulation's physical and mechanical qualities were tested using American Society for Testing and Materials, a worldwide standard test procedure. The biological activities of the prepared AgNWs and the waterborne coating based on AgNWs were investigated. And, their effects on pathogenic bacteria, antioxidants, antiviral activity and cytotoxicity were also investigated.

The obtained results of the physical and mechanical characteristics of the paint formulation demonstrated the formulations' greatest performance, as well as giving good scrub resistance and film durability. In the antimicrobial activity, the paint did not have any activity against bacterial pathogen, whereas the AgNWs and AgNWs with paint have similar activity against bacterial pathogen with inhibition zone range from 10 to 14 mm. The development of antioxidant and cytotoxicity activity of the paint incorporated with AgNWs were also observed. The cytopathic effects of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) were reduced in all three investigated modes of action when compared to the positive control group (HSV-1-infected cells), suggesting that these compounds have promising antiviral activity against a wide range of viruses, including DNA and RNA viruses.

The new waterborne coating based on nanoparticles has the potential to be promising in the manufacturing and development of paints, allowing them to function to prevent the spread of microbial infection, which is exactly what the world requires at this time.

Because of the continuing usage of nitrocellulose lacquers, a study of the thinners to determine the percentages of the components is very important. Usually these thinners consist of a mixture aromatic and alphatic hydrocarbons (as diluents or non solvents) and ketones, esters and ethers (as solvents).

Insecticides are chemicals that are used to control damage or annoyance from insects. Generally, control is achieved by poisoning the insects by oral ingestion of stomach poisons, by contact poisons that penetrate through the cuticle, or by fumigants that penetrate through the respiratory system. Pojurowsky Leon has made wall paper washproof and contact‐insecticidal coating compositions by addition of 1–12% insecticide solutions in polar organic solvents in 15–45% amounts by usual vinyl‐acrylic or oil type emulsion lacquers. Coating dye compositions dispersible, in water and containing (MeO)2P(O)CH(OH)CC13 with lasting insecticide effect were prepared by Bozzay Jazsel, et al. In 1986, Lee, et al, have performed aqueous emulsions of insecticidal activity, containing hydrophilic silicone organic copolymer elastomer. Recently Moustafa, M., et al prepared and evaluated various coating compositions for their insecticidal activity. The binders used are chlorinated rubber, polyurethane and alkyd resins. Three kinds of insecticides with trade names sumicidin, sumithion and cyanox were studied. Cockroaches were the target insect. They showed that compositions based on alkyd or chlorinated rubber and containing 4% cyanox or sumithion as insecticide showed promising results as insecticidal and insect repellent coatings.

The coatings industry has great ability to produce each year a variety of new end products. Many of these are variations of existing materials, but nonetheless it is of importance to note them for they provide an indication of where interest in the coatings industry lies. Typical of the specialty coatings from which the industry seeks higher profits is a white latex paint that contains a small amount of insecticide concentrate which crystallizes into thousands of microscopic particles as the paint dries. These particles migrate to the surface to form a thin dry film of insecticide that kills insects on contact. The paint is registered with the EPA and State agencies for application on both exterior and interior surfaces of office buildings, schools, hotels, and farm buildings. However, it is not approved for direct contact with food or animal feed. The coating has been described in Chemical Industry Update (April 7, 1983, p. 4) and is offered by Universal Cooperatives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

This paper utilizes controversies over the role of a set of insecticides in mass honey bee die-offs in two different national contexts – France and the United States – in order to understand the science-state nexus in a comparative manner. On the one hand, the French government in 1999 and 2004 suspended the commercial use of the insecticidal products that beekeepers suspected of causing the honey bee declines. On the other hand, the US government has to date refused to heed beekeepers’ calls to limit the usage of the very same set of insecticides. We examine why the governments of France and the United States came to contrasting conclusions regarding broadly similar technoscientific issues. The divergent outcomes, we argue, are not simply the result of predetermined differences in the two states’ regulatory paradigms (with France being “precautionary,” and the United States adhering to a “sound science” approach), but are underpinned by divergent forms of beekeepers’ resistance. The paper further sheds light on non-state actors’ use of science and state to contest state (in)action by analyzing how historically influenced differences in state structures, the relational dynamics of beekeepers’ and farmers’ organizations, and the epistemic cultures of honey bee knowledge production, shaped different forms of resistance and influence in France and the United States.

Various rosin‐modified polyesteramide resins are formulated and evaluated for their insecticidal activity. Five kinds of pyrethroid and organophosphorus insecticides with trade names Neo‐Pynamin Forte, Gokilaht, Neo‐Pynamin, Sumithrin and Cyanox are studies. American Cockroaches (Periplaneta americana) are the target insect.
