Halloysite nanotubes – A novel reinforcing material for future applications
Abstract
The distinctive nano materials such as nano powder, nano fluids, nano tubes, nano rods, nano particles, nano fibres and so forth are used in the field of nanotechnology. These nano materials are toxic in nature so not viewed as safe for people and for nature too. Halloysite nano tubes (HNT) are eco-friendly, naturally occurring cheaply available kaolinite group mineral. HNT incorporated materials have good in strength, thermal resistance and freely available, HNTs have a number of escalating applications such as cosmetics, drug delivery, fire retardant, structural, wear resistant, nano reactors, nano containers and soon. Due to large aspect ratio, low density, rich functionality and easily dispersed with any polymer, HNTs are used for high performance polymer composites and multi-functional nano composites. In this review, the exciting applications of HNT in different areas of research is discussed.
