Nanoparticle-stabilized microcapsules, dispersions comprising nanoparticle-stabilized microcapsules, and method for the treatment of bacterial biofilms
A stabilized microcapsule includes a liquid hydrophobic core including an essential oil and an aromatic monoaldehyde, and a shell encapsulating the core, the shell including a plurality of amino-functionalized inorganic nanoparticles. Also disclosed is a dispersion including a plurality of the stabilized microcapsules. The microcapsules and dispersions can be particularly useful for treating a bacterial biofilm.
