After redispersion of the capsules in an aqueous medium, the remaining amount of the disinfectant agent was as high as 90%. The nanocapsules were successfully adsorbed via the layer-by-layer technique onto a γ-radiation- vulcanized natural rubber latex sheet. Water contact angle measurements and scanning electron microscopy confirmed the presence of nanocapsules on the rubber surface. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Mahidol UniversityChemistryMaterials ScienceArticleSCOPUS10.1002/app.29464
