Halloysite nanotubes and halloysite-based composites for biomedical applications
Abstract Novel biomaterials for diagnostics and therapeutics of biomedical issues have been considered using biomedical science and health care. Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are naturally occurring aluminosilicate clay. Because of their unique hollow tubular structure, biodegradability, mechanical and surface properties, they have drawn the attention ...

Halloysite Nanotubes Capturing Isotope Selective Atmospheric CO2 [PDF]
AbstractWith the aim to capture and subsequent selective trapping of CO2, a nanocomposite has been developed through selective modification of the outer surface of the halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) with an organosilane to make the nanocomposite a novel solid-phase adsorbent to adsorb CO2 from the atmosphere at standard ambient temperature and pressure ...
