Nano Composite Applications For Halloysite Nanocomposite

Abstract

Halloysite is a naturally occurring nanoclay that attracts attention as a flexible and significant component of biomaterials because of its
distinctive properties, including its nanometric size range, tubular structure, excellent biocompatibility, low cost, and opposing charges
on its surface. In order to achieve improved and desirable qualities including mechanical strength, barrier properties, and regulated pore
size, functionalized Halloysite nanotubes (HNT) are added to the cellulose biopolymer. Bio-nano composites, which have improved
qualities, are used in a variety of industries, including food packaging, the car sector, medicine delivery, and many more. Extended
research on several HNT-cellulose-based bio-nanocomposites is presented in this chapter, together with information on their structural
and functional characteristics and applications.
