In this work, we are developing a surfactant-free Halloysite Clay Nanotube (HNT) stabilized botanical Pickering emulsion for enhanced biopesticide delivery. The formulation was optimized by standardizing HNT concentration, oil phase fraction, and botanical-to-carrier oil ratio, along with evaluation of particle wettability (contact angle studies). Stability was validated under stress conditions including pH variation, salinity, and temperature storage. The optimized system exhibits improved emulsion stability, enhanced surface retention, and potential for sustained bio-efficacy with reduced environmental impact.
