Hybrid halloysite nanotubes as smart carriers for corrosion protection.

open access: yesACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2020
Novel hybrid halloysite nanotubes (HHNTs) were developed and used as smart carriers for corrosion protection of steel. For this purpose, as-received halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were loaded with corrosion inhibitor, imidazole (IM), by vacuum encapsulation.

Recent advances of non‐invasive sensors for smart wearable respiratory monitoring

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Respiration contains rich physiological and pathological information, making it one of the most fundamental and continuous vital signs. Respiration monitoring is a non‐invasive and simple, but incredibly powerful, tool for assessing health, managing disease, and tracking fitness.

Commercial clays in cosmetic formulations for hair care: Characterization and application to improve the mechanical properties of hair fibre

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
The shampoo and conditioner bar formulations enhanced hair gloss, promoting softness, improved cuticle alignment, and effective protection of hair shafts against external aggressors. Findings from mechanical properties measurements indicate that the clay‐containing formulations enhance the mechanical strength of hair, contributing to stronger and more ...

Salt Desorption from Halloysite [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1959
ABNORMALLY high cation exchange capacities (40–70 m.equiv./100 gm.) have been reported for halloysite1. Since isomorphous substitution is of inconsiderable magnitude in halloysite, White2 has suggested that allophane, which sometimes is associated with halloysite, may account for these large values.

Pickering Emulsions Based on Wax and Halloysite Nanotubes: An Ecofriendly Protocol for the Treatment of Archeological Woods

open access: yesACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2020
A novel green protocol for the consolidation and protection of waterlogged archeological woods with wax microparticles has been designed. First, we focused on the development of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) based Pickering emulsions using wax as the inner
