were quantified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) study and corrected with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP MS). (Table , Table , S4 in SI). These findings show that while slight alternation was found in terms of PLE, the PLE value was not greatly improved by functionalization. iii) CS-MNP outperforms β-CD-MNP among the hybrid NCs. Based on these findings, we infer that due to 1,4-& 1,6-linkages of the glucose unit, the high output of MNP over M MMT and better performance of S-M MMT may be attributed to the branching nature of starch, generating more space for pesticide packing.
