IIT Delhi scientists developed wash-resistant, mosquito-repelling detergents that protect fabrics long-term.
Researchers at IIT Delhi have created smart detergents in powder and liquid form that repel mosquitoes by making fabrics unappealing to them through lasting chemical interactions with fibers.
Unlike traditional repellents, the effect regenerates with each wash.
Testing showed a significant drop in mosquito landings on treated fabrics, offering durable protection against diseases like malaria and dengue.
The team has filed a patent, and commercialization is expected soon.
