Abstract Destructive landslides were triggered by the 6.7 M w Eastern Iburi earthquake that struck southern Hokkaido, Japan, on 6 September 2018. Heavy rainfall 4 in addition to intermittent around Tobu area saturated and weakened slope-forming materials (mostly altered volcanoclastic soils), making them susceptible failure because of earthquake’s strong ground motion. Most shallow exhibited lo...

Tissue engineering has garnered considerable attention within the broader field of regenerative medicine that utilizes naturally-occurring nanomaterials as fillers in polymeric scaffolds and carriers for sustained, targeted drug delivery. These act functional constructs recovery defective tissues organs, which may aid overcoming current challenges donor organ shortage. The present article looks...

Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were investigated as a platform for tunable nanoparticle composition and enhanced opacity in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement. Halloysite has been widely used to increase the mechanical properties of various polymer matrices, in stark contrast to other fillers such as barium sulfate that provide opacity but also decrease mechanical strength. The present w...

The influence of short-term water absorption on the mechanical properties of halloysite nanotubes-multi layer graphene reinforced polyester hybrid nanocomposites has been investigated. The addition of nano-fillers significantly increased the flexural strength, tensile strength, and impact strength in dry and wet conditions. After short-term water exposure, the maximum microhardness, tensile, fl...

Abstract The adsorption of chloroxylenol and chlorophene on halloysite-carbon composites was investigated in batch flow systems. synthesis through two different methods performed with microcrystalline cellulose as carbon precursor. obtained were characterized by SEM/EDS analysis, the low-temperature nitrogen adsorption/desorption methods, infrared spectrometry (FT-IR). analysis FT-IR spectra co...
