The first-ever use of halloysite nanotube (HNT), a relatively low-cost nanomaterial abundantly available with minor toxicity for removing brilliant green dye from aqueous media, is reported. factors affecting adsorption were studied by assessing the capacity, kinetics, and equilibrium thermodynamic properties. All experiments designed at pH level around 7. Redlich-Peterson isotherm model fits b...

Polypropylene composites with different filler contents were prepared by creating a masterbatch containing 3 wt%. filler. A variety of silanol groups were used to synthetized three compounds in different media trough a sol-gel process with acetic acid, formic acid and ammonium hydroxide as catalysts. Besides, four different nanotubular fillers were also used to analyze their behavior and compar...

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin is commonly used for the fabrication of a denture base heat curing polymerization. The objective this work to investigate effects using two types nanotube technology: Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) and Multi-walled carbon (MWCNTs), on impact strength (IS), Vickers hardness (VH) PMMA base. composites were fabricated by incorporating powder, 0.5wt% benzoyl peroxi...

Gold nanoparticles supported on halloysite nanotubes (Au/HNTs) were prepared by a homogeneous deposition-precipitation method. The specific characteristics of the catalyst were characterized in detail, in relation to their performance for solvent-free oxidation of benzyl alcohol. The particular structure of the catalyst resulted in high catalytic activity and stability compared with other suppo...

Nanostructures loaded on halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) have attracted global interest, because the nanotubular HNTs could extend the range of their potential applications. In this study, we fabricated a novel nanocomposite with hollow iron nanoparticles loaded on the surface of HNTs. The structure of the iron nanoparticles can be adjusted by ageing time. Owing to the increased remnant magnetizati...
