A plastic material for extended release of a bio-active agent, the plastic material comprising a structural polymer, at least one bio-active ingredient embedded within the structural polymer as solid islands, a liquid binding material embedded within the structural polymer as granules, and a carrier liquid absorbed within the liquid-absorbent material. The carrier liquid may be sufficiently non-compatible with the structural polymer so that at least a portion of the carrier liquid is released from the liquid-absorbent material through the structural polymer to an outer surface of the plastic material over a period of time, such as a week or more, a month or more, or about three months. The bio-active agent comprised in the at least one bio-active ingredient may be sufficiently soluble in the carrier liquid at room or body temperature so that the carrier liquid released to the outer surface comprises the bio-active agent in solution.

A mosquito repellent and antibacterial tent includes a tent body, a first support bar and a second support bar. The tent body is formed by a base fabric entirely provided with a mosquito repellent agent and a waterproofing agent. An adhesive coating layer is provided on the base cloth. The tent body includes a plurality of first positioning parts. A side surface of the tent body has at least one opening. The first support bar and the second support bar are connected to the plurality of first positioning parts so as to be crossed to support the tent body. Thus, the mosquito repellent and antibacterial tent achieves mosquito repellent and antibacterial effects as well as being waterproof and sturdy.
