Abstract Halloysite Nanotubes (HNTs) are clay minerals that possess unique chemical
composition and a tubular structure due to which, they have recently emerged as a potential …

A pH-sensitive nanocomposite based on halloysite nanotubes (HNT) coated with polyacrylic
acid (PAA)/carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) hydrogel was synthesized for controlled delivery …

A novel green protocol for the consolidation and protection of waterlogged archeological
woods with wax microparticles has been designed. First, we focused on the development of …

Hypothesis Electrostatic attractions between the anionic head group of sodium
alkylsulphates and the positively charged inner surface of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) drive …

In this work, novel sodium alginate–based double-network hydrogel beads were prepared
and applied for the water-retention and slow release of fertilizers (WSF). The WSF beads …

Applying nanotechnology to deliver drug could result in several benefits such as prolong
duration of action, enhancement in overall bioavailability, targeting to specific site, low initial …

The aim of this study is the design and preparation of Mater-Bi/halloysite nanocomposite
materials that could be employed as bioplastics alternative to the petroleum derived …

Heterogeneous catalysis benefits from some merits such as facile catalyst separation and
recyclability. In this context, use of halloysite that is a naturally occurring clay with tubular …

We propose a novel keratin treatment of human hair by its aqueous mixtures with natural
halloysite clay nanotubes. The loaded clay nanotubes together with free keratin produce …
