Functionalized Halloysite Nanotubes as Potential Drug Carriers
The aim of the work was to examine the possibility of using modified halloysite nanotubes as a gentamicin carrier and to determine the usefulness of the modification in terms of the effect on the amount of the drug attached, its release time, but also on

Filling of mater-BI with nanoclays to enhance the biofilm rigidity [PDF]
We investigated the efficacy of several nanoclays (halloysite, sepiolite and laponite) as nanofillers for Mater-Bi, which is a commercial bioplastic extensively used within food packaging applications.

Introduction to the landscapes and soils of the Hamilton Basin [PDF]
The Hamilton Basin area is characterised by four main landscape units or landforms as depicted in the block diagrams below (McCraw, 1967, 2002; Bruce, 1979; Selby and Lowe, 1992), and these provide a soil-landscape model to predict the soil ...

Monte Carlo study of magnetic nanoparticles adsorbed on halloysite $Al_2Si_2O_5(OH)_4$ nanotubes [PDF]
We study properties of magnetic nanoparticles adsorbed on the halloysite surface. For that a distinct magnetic Hamiltonian with random distribution of spins on a cylindrical surface was solved by using a nonequilibrium Monte Carlo method.
