With the aim to capture and subsequent selective trapping of CO2, a nanocomposite has been developed through selective modification of the outer surface of the halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) with an organosilane to make the nanocomposite a novel solid-phase adsorbent to adsorb CO2 from the atmosphere at standard ambient temperature and pressure. The preferential adsorption of three major abundant ...

Fabrication of nanocomposites from immiscible polymer blend system has been represented in this work. A new type of natural clay named Halloysite Nanotubes (HNTs) are modified by Polyethyleneimine (PEI) and these PEI grafted HNTs are incorporated into the immiscible blend system during melt mixing process to prepare halloysite based nanocomposites. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)...

DNA-wrapped halloysite nanotubes were obtained by a mechanochemical reaction in the solid state. The characterization by scanning electron microscopy showed that the nanotubes were cut into shorter lengths and were completely covered with DNA. This resulted in a high aqueous solubility of the product with stability of the solution for about 6 weeks. The nanotubes were cut to different fractions...

In this research, we physically foamed semicrystalline polylactic acid filled with montmorillonite, carbon nanotubes, and halloysite nanoparticles. the case of polymer foams, their density compressive strength are important parameters. Although specific calculated as ratio two is a good indicator use polymeric few researchers for classification. We have shown that presence nanoparticles has pos...

Current work aims to study the mechanical and dynamical properties of non-woven bamboo (B)/woven kenaf (K)/epoxy (E) hybrid composites filled with nanoclay. The nanoclay-filled BK/E were prepared by dispersing 1 wt.% nanoclay (organically-modified montmorillonite (MMT; OMMT), (MMT), halloysite nanotube (HNT)) high shear speed homogenizer followed hand lay-up fabrication technique. effect adding...
