Active compounds ofCymbopogon winterianius(Java Serai Wangi) which consists of citronella oil (CO), has been reported to has mosquito repellent compounds; citronellol, citronellal, and geraniol. Limitation on the use of natural mosquito repellent has driven this work to incorporate the CO in commercial water-based paint. In this work, the CO-paint was formulated and its ability to repel mosquito was determined. The optimum composition of CO was determined by three standard paint analyses which were volatile organic compound (VOC), viscosity and adhesion. The best composition of CO in paint was found to be 20% vol. where it able to repelAedes aegyptiwith 80% efficiency. It is envisioned that the formulated CO-paint is effectively function as mosquito-repellent thus as an alternative way to reduce the mosquito-borne diseases.

This paper presents the synthesis and evaluation of a carbon molecular sieve membrane (CMSM) grown inside a MEMS-fabricated μ-preconcentrator for sampling highly volatile organic compounds. An array of µ-pillars measuring 100 µm in diameter and 250 µm in height were fabricated inside a microfluidic channel to increase the attaching surface for the CMSM. The surface area of the CMSM was measured as high as 899 m2/g. A GC peak amplification factor >2 × 104 was demonstrated with gaseous ethyl acetate. Up to 1.4 L of gaseous ethanol at the 100 ppb level could be concentrated without exceeding the capacity of this microchip device. Sharp desorption chromatographic peaks (<3.5 s) were obtained while using this device directly as a GC injector. Less volatile compounds such as gaseous toluene, m-xylene, and mesitylene appeared to be adsorbed strongly on CMSM, showing a memory effect. Sampling parameters such as sample volatilities, sampling capacities, and compound residual issues were empirically determined and discussed.
