Halloysite nanotubes-polymeric nanocomposites: characteristics, modifications and controlled drug delivery approaches
Abstract Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are aluminosilicate nanoclay mineral which have a hollow tubular structure and occurs naturally. They are biocompatible and viable carrier for inclusion of biologically active molecules due to the empty space inside the tubular structure. In this article, the HNT...
