چکیده
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are natural occurring mineral clay nanotubes that have 11 excellent potential application in different fields. However, HNTs are affected by size, surface 12 electron and hydrogen bond formation on the surface which lead to weak affinity and reunion at 13 certain extent. It is very significant to modify the HNTs’ surface to expand its applications. In this 14 review, the structural characteristics, performance and the related applications of surface 15 modification HNTs are reviewed and summarized. We focus on the surface modify methods of 16 HNTs, the effect of surface modification on materials and related applications in various regions. In 17 addition, future prospects and the meaning of surface modification were also be discussed in 18 HNTs studies. This review provided a reference for the application of HNTs modifications in new 19 nanomaterials fields. 20

متن کاملSelective modification of halloysite lumen with octadecylphosphonic acid: new inorganic tubular micelle.
Selective fatty acid hydrophobization of the inner surface of tubule halloysite clay is demonstrated. Aqueous phosphonic acid was found to bind to alumina sites at the tube lumen and did not bind the tube's outer siloxane surface. The bonding was characterized with solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance ((29)Si, (13)C, (31)P NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spect...
