Ruthenium-Loaded Halloysite Nanotubes as Mesocatalysts for Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis

Molecules, 2020
Halloysite aluminosilicate nanotubes loaded with ruthenium particles were used as reactors for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis. To load ruthenium inside clay, selective modification of the external surface with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, urea, or acetone

Collision Dynamics and Solvation of Water Molecules in a Liquid Methanol Film [PDF]

, 2011
Environmental molecular beam experiments are used to examine water interactions with liquid methanol films at temperatures from 170 K to 190 K. We find that water molecules with 0.32 eV incident kinetic energy are efficiently trapped by the liquid ...

Halloysite nanotubes as polyolefin fillers

Polimery, 2015
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are a promising type of naturally occurring fillers for polymers. We review the recent progress in HNTs characterization, methods of their modification, as well as the morphology and mechanical properties of polyolefin/HNT nanocomposites.
