Halloysite Nanotubes as Active Modulators for Tunable Charge Transport in PEDOT:PSS

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 9, September 2026.
Halloysite nanotubes act as active modulators of PEDOT:PSS, enabling tunable charge transport through morphology‐ and interface‐dependent polymer reorganization rather than passive reinforcement. An optimal 2.5 wt.% DG loading simultaneously enhances electrical conductivity, mechanical stiffness, and biocompatibility, providing a rational strategy for ...
