  • Use of polymeric films for delivery of nematode eggs and ecological evaluations
    Patent number: 5739005
    Abstract: Provided is a polymer film useful in the delivery of biological agents, as well as a method for making such a polymer film. The polymer film comprises a transparent, gelled water-soluble polymer supported by a mesh. The polymer film also contains a biological agent. The polymer film can be made by preparing an aqueous solution of a gellable water-soluble polymer and the biological agent, dipping the meshed support into the aqueous solution to create a liquid film over the support, and then gelling the polymer.
