Low temperature-dependence of N,N-dimethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) release from a functional paper containing paraffin–DEET composites prepared using interfacial polymerization.

Highlights: [•] We prepared a polyamide paper coating containing paraffin–DEET composites. [•] The polyamide film was directly prepared using interfacial polymerization. [•] The functional paper containing paraffin released DEET for a long period. [•] DEET release from the functional paper had a low temperature dependence. [•] Paraffin was important in achieving the sustained release of DEET. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
