Review on polymer/halloysite nanotube nanocomposite
A Kausar - Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
Halloysite nanotube (HNT) is a unique type of nanofiller, ie, structurally much similar to
nanoclay, whereas geometrically analogous to carbon nanotube. Due to nanosize, surface …
