Cytotoxicity measurements of Halloysite Nanotubes for nanomedicine applications

2014 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA), 2014
Halloysite Clay nanotubes (HNTs) are naturally occurring nanotubes composed of double layered aluminosilicate minerals with a hollow tubular structure in the nanometer range. In recent years, HNTs have attracted specific research attention as a possible new material for various biological applications, including drug and gene delivery vehicles ...

Characterization and Hydrogen Storage Performance of Halloysite Nanotubes

Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2019
Here we report on the structural characterization and the hydrogen storage performance of naturally derived halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). HNTs were mined from different deposits in Australia and purified with different processes including crushing, blunging, reblunging, sedimentation and filtration.

Halloysite Nanotubes Rubber Composites

2014
Rubber composites based on halloysite nanotubes (HNT) have attracted tremendous attention during the last decades owing to the improved mechanical, dynamic mechanical, and thermal properties [1–3]. Before exploring the various aspects of HNT/rubber composite systems, we first briefly describe the HNT.

Tailoring the wettability of polypropylene surfaces with halloysite nanotubes

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2010
In this contribution, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), a kind of natural hydrophilic nanoclay, are incorporated into polypropylene (PP) for tailoring the surface microstructures of the composites prepared by solution casting. HNTs act as heterogeneous nuclei for PP, which leads to the change of phase separation process during drying of the composites and ...

Interfacial Self-Assembly in Halloysite Nanotube Composites

Langmuir, 2019
A self-assembly of clay nanotubes in functional arrays for the production of organized organic/inorganic heterostructures is described. These 50-nm-diameter natural alumosilicate nanotubes are biocompatible. Halloysite allows for 10-20 wt % chemical/drug loading into the inner lumen, and it gives an extended release for days and months (anticorrosion ...

Halloysite Clay Nanotubes as Carriers for Curcumin Delivery

2015 1st Workshop on Nanotechnology in Instrumentation and Measurement (NANOFIM), 2015
Halloysite is a nanostructured clay mineral with hollow tubular structure, which has recently found an important role as delivery sistem for drugs or other active molecules. One of these is curcumin, main constituent in the rhizome of the plant Curcuma Longa, with a series of useful pharmacological activities, hindered by its poor solubility in water ...

Effect of halloysite nanotubes filler on polydopamine properties

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2019
Polydopamine (PDA) is widely used as hydrophilic coating for several applications. However, most of the methods studied to improve or manipulate PDA properties are multistep and time-consuming, and there is a need for versatile strategies aimed at controlling and modifying the properties of PDA.PDA-halloysite nanocomposites were produced under ...
