Summary
Smart Halloysite Nanotubes: Fundamentals and Applications
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are naturally occurring, hollow, tubular aluminosilicate clay minerals that are biocompatible, abundant, and inexpensive. Their unique structure, surface chemistry, and hollow interior make them attractive candidates for a wide range of applications. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals and applications of HNTs, with a particular focus on their “smart” properties.
