Stabilized polymeric nanocapsules, dispersions comprising the nanocapsules, and methods for the treatment of bacterial biofilms

摘要

A nanocapsule includes a liquid hydrophobic care including an essential oil, and a shell encapsulating the core. The shell includes a copolymer having repeating units of Formula (I) and (II) wherein X, L¹, R¹, R², y, and p are as described herein. A dispersion is also disclosed, wherein the dispersion includes a plurality of nanocapsules. The nanocapsules described herein are particularly useful for the treatment of bacterial biofilms.;
