In previous study, the novel nanosized curdlan-silica complex for a sustain-releasing effect was developed by using gamma-irradiation. It can be applicable to use in various sustainr-eleasing formulation in agriculture industry. This study was conducted to investigate its storage stability and environmental toxicity in an accelerated condition. The complex samples were treated with high temperature condition ($65^{\circ}C$) during 3 weeks, and then sustain-releasing property of complex was verified thereby using Ion Chromatography on a weekly basis. The morphology of the complex was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results of Ion Chromatography analysis showed that sample treated for 3 weeks was similar to sustain-releasing pattern of non-treatment sample. We verify concluded that the complex is able to keep its sustain-releasing property and sustained-releasing in 3 years. Also the formulation has no environmental toxicity.

In this study, we addressed a novel nanosized curdlan-silica complex, which is curdlan bound to silica, for the development of a sustain-releasing micro element fertilizer formulation. The complex was obtained as follow steps; First, Curdlan polymer, sodium silicate ($Na_2SiO_3$) and isopropyl alcohol were dissolved in DDW. Next the resultant solution was irradiated by $^{60}Co$ gamma-irradiator (150 TBq of capacity; ACEL, Canada). Then $MgSO_4$ was treated with the resultant solution. The obtained colloidal solution was dried by freeze dryer. Finally, we obtained a novel nanosized curdlan-silica formulation containing $MgSO_4$ from the colloidal solution. The morphology of the complex was characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The nanosized curdlan-silica complex has a particle size ranging from 20 to 80 nm and high stability. Our results suggested that the nano-complex can be applicable to use in various sustain-releasing formulation for pesticide delivery system (PDS).

We introduced a novel sustainable slow-releasing agrochemical formulation, a biopolymer bound to silica, for controlling plant diseases. The formulation was obtained through the following process. Curdlan, sodium silicate ($Na_2SiO_3$) and isopropyl alcohol were dissolved in DDW (Deionized-distilled water). The resultant solution was then irradiated using a $^{60}Co$ ${\gamma}$-irradiator (150 TBq of capacity; ACEL, Canada) at KAERI. The resultant solution was treated with phosphorous acid ($H_3PO_3$). Finally, we obtained a novel biopolymer-silica microsized formulation containing phosphorous acid ($H_3PO_3$) from the solution. The morphology of the complex was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). SEM and TEM images revealed that the curdlan-silica formulation has a particle size ranging from 1 to $3{\mu}m$ with high stability. We also detected that $H_3PO_3$ was distributed within the formulation through energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis. $H_3PO_3$ was sustain-released from the formulation in water. Based on our results, it seems effectively that one or two applications of the formulation during a cropping season will assist in controlling various plant diseases.

수용해도가 2.53ppm인 KC-6620을 수중용출기간이 20일 정도인 입제로 제제하기 위하여 원제에 대한 용출지연효과가 가장 큰 다공성 증량제를 선발하고, PEG를 부제로 첨가한 흡착식 입제를 제제하여 실내에서 수중용출속도를 측정하였다. 1. 다공성 증량제중 KC-6620에 대하여 용출지연효과를 나타낸 것은 bentonite 소결공립이었으나 수중에 침적 20일후의 용출율이 매우 낮았다. 2. Bentonite에 pyrophyllite를 혼합하고 조립한 다음 소결시킴으로써 흡유가가 증가하였으며, 이 공립으로 제제한 KC-6620 입제의 수중용출속도도 증가하였다 BP60 입제의 경우 침적 20일후에 85% 이상의 용출율을 보여 시험한 입제중 단기용출지연제제로 가장 적합하였다. 3. BP입제는 PEG를 부제로 첨가하여 용출속도를 증가시킬 수 있었으며, PEG의 첨가비가 공립의 흡유가까지 증가할수록 용출속도도 증가하였다. 4. BP40 입제는 입제중의 유효성분함량이 높을수록 수중용출속도가 느려져서 제제농도가 용출속도를 좌우하는 가장 큰 요인이었다.
