MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621028933 A) filed by Dr. Ruby Patel; Dr. Ranna Chaudhary; Dr. Sejal A. Joshi; Patel Drashy Vijaykumar; Dr. Purvesh B. Bharvad; and Dr. Muneshbhai B. Baraiya, Mehsana, Gujarat, on March 11, for 'layered nanocomposite composition for controlled release of volatile natural products and method for preparation thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Ruby Patel; Dr. Ranna Chaudhary; Dr. Sejal A. Joshi; Patel Drashy Vijaykumar; Dr. Purvesh B. Bharvad; and Dr. Muneshbhai B. Baraiya.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a layered nanocomposite composition for controlled release of one or more volatile natural products and a method for preparation thereof. The composition comprises 0.75-32.5% by weight of volatile natural products immobilized within a lamellar inorganic substrate selected from layered double hydroxides, modified clays, graphene oxide laminates, silica-polymer hybrid sheets, or combinations thereof, present in 12-68% by weight, and dispersed within 6-42% by weight of a polymeric binder, optionally including surface modifiers, crosslinkers, and pore-modulating additives. The volatile molecules are intercalated within interlayer galleries having adjustable spacing of 0.85-3.25 nm, forming a dual diffusion barrier architecture that enables sustained and programmable release over 30-180 days. The method comprises surface functionalization, solvent-assisted swelling, vacuum intercalation, polymer blending, crosslinking, and shaping into pellets, films, coatings, or granules. The invention provides enhanced storage stability, reduced volatilization loss, and trigger-responsive emission suitable for agricultural, packaging, and industrial applications."
