Effects of Halloysite Nanotubes on the Mechanical Properties of Polysaccharide Films

Abstract:

Halloysite nanotubes (HNT) are good reinforcing fillers because of many traits that allow high processability and versatile active agents loading. Incorporation of HNT into polymer matrices, especially in natural polymers, is still yet to be explored. This paper reports on the effect of inclusion of nanotube clay towards the mechanical properties of polysaccharide films.
