“…21). 88 In particular, supramolecular interactions between HNT surfaces and cucurbit [6]uril (CB [6]) molecules 89 facilitated the synthesis of a hybrid nanofiller with high solubilization capacity towards essential oils. The ''multi-pocket'' HNT/CB [6] filler showed a significant enhancement (ca.…”

a Halloysite (HNT) is a promising natural nanosized tubular clay mineral that has many important uses in different industrial fields. It is naturally occurring, biocompatible, and available in thousands of tons at low cost. As a consequence of a hollow cavity, HNT is mainly used as nanocontainer for the controlled release of several chemicals. Chemical modification of both surfaces (inner lumen and outer surface) is a strategy to tune the nanotube's properties. Specifically, chemical modification of HNT surfaces generates a nanoarchitecture with targeted affinity through outer surface functionalization and drug transport ability from functionalization of the nanotube lumen. The primary focus of this review is the research of modified halloysite nanotubes and their applications in biological and medical fields.

“…The highest level of HNTs-PVA nanocomposite was achieved by producing water-insoluble PVA [30]. The qualities of the composite by individualization of HNTs with the assistance of MA crosslinking with PVA were also studied [31]. In this work, the specific surface area was improved to 511 m 2 /g from about 60 m 2 /g for neat HNTs, which is considered the second highest increase to the best of our knowledge.…”

A novel development on halloysite-polyvinyl alcohol (HNTs-PVA) nanocomposites has been conducted using malonic acid (MA) by crosslinking PVA and HNTs. PVA-MA crosslinking produces smooth surfaces, which play an important role in enhancing the properties of HNTs-PVA nanocomposite. The crystallographic structures of crosslinked HNTs-PVA show almost no change as depicted by the X-ray diffraction (XRD)-2θ-peak, suggesting that MA has no or little influence on the crystallographic structure of the HNTs-PVA. Images taken by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) suggest possible effects of MA on the morphology and internal features of HNTs-PVA by reducing the agglomeration of HNTs, which is considered a decisive step in improving the surface qualities of HNTs. Investigating the samples using the Brunauer-Emmelt-Teller (BET) technique showed that the surface area was increased by about 10 times, reaching the second highest recorded results compared to the HNTs, which could be considered a breakthrough step in enhancing the properties of HNTs-PVA due to MA crosslinking.

“…The essential oils of Mentha longifolia L. (M. longifolia) have been extensively investigated, as evident in a large number of studies focusing on their antiviral, antimicrobial, antifungal [10][11][12], antibiofilm formation [13][14][15], radioprotective [16,17], antioedema, analgesic and antioxidant properties [13].…”
