A general approach to halloysite clay mineral

, 2020
Halloysite is a natural clay mineral that belongs to the kaolin group. Its chemical formula is Al2(OH)4Si2O5.nH2O. When n is equal to 2, it is hydrated, and when n is equal to 0, the halloysite is dehydrated. Generally, halloysite has a tubular structure;

A Strategic Approach to Improving Interfacial Interactions in TPU/POSS Composites via Ball Milling of POSS

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Ball‐milling promotes uniform POSS dispersion in the TPU matrix, markedly improving the mechanical performance of TPU‐POSS composites. ABSTRACT We synthesized TPU/POSS composites through a two‐step process involving the ball milling of POSS to reduce its particle size, followed by in situ polymerization of TPU to reinforce the material.

Halloysite-Doped Zinc Oxide for Enhanced Sunscreening Performance

, 2019
Halloysite (Hal) has already been proposed as a support for zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesis due to the possibility of adsorbing ZnO on its internal and external tubular surface, but no attention has been devoted to evaluate the effect of this support ...
