Abstract:
The ultraviolet A (UVA) reflective anti-fly tablecloth was designed to solve the problem of fruit flies. This tablecloth was coated to reflect ultraviolet rays, effectively prevent fruit flies, and provide a clean and comfortable learning environment. Fruit residues attract fruit flies to breed, causing trouble for students' health and learning. To solve this problem, considering the traditional fly control methods, we proposed a long-acting, low-cost, and harmless solution for humans. We used paint made of enamel and a polymer dispersant, which was mixed and applied to the tablecloth, and treated the tablecloth with waterproofing to make it reflect ultraviolet light. The tablecloth showed fly-proof and long-lasting effects at a low cost and can be used for various furniture and materials. The tablecloth can be used for an environmentally friendly, comfortable, and clean learning environment, repelling the fruit fly.
