Ticks home in on body heat: A new understanding of Haller's organ and repellent action.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Ticks are second only to mosquitoes as vectors of disease to humans and animals. Tick host detection is mainly ascribed to Haller's organ, a complex sensory structure on the tick foreleg that detects odors, carbon dioxide and heat, but these host ...

Slow Release of Bioactive Alcohols From Butenolide Polymers and Coatings
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.In this study we have reported the acid‐mediated release of bioactive alcohols from biobased alkoxy butenolide derived copolymers and coatings. It can potentially be applied for slow release of odors, pesticides, or drug‐related compounds from biobased polybutenolides.

Release of multicomponent pheromones from porous fibres
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Surface engineering empowers a polymer exclusion net to serve dual functions: physical exclusion and pheromonal release, allowing for pest control in agricultural crops. In previous work, a net woven from porous fibres releasing simple, single‐component alarm pheromones showed promising results in field tests.
