“…The crystallization temperature of the HNTs-PVA initially increased but further loading decreases the improvement in the crystallization temperature 51 . In HNTs-PP nanocomposites there is increase in crystallization temperature 52 . The crystallinities of the HNTs-PLA composites were significantly superior to neat PLA.…”

In nanotechnology different nano materials are used like carbon nanotubes, nanofluids, nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, nanocapsules, etc. Due to their toxic effects the results of these nano materials are not considered safe for humans and for the environment as well. Halloysite nanotubules (HNTs) having low cost are naturally occurring environmental friendly nanotubules. These are distinctive and handy materials formed by face weathering of aluminosilicate minerals having definite ratio of aluminum, silicon, hydrogen, and oxygen. HNTs have high mechanical strength and modulus. Due to these properties it is ideal for various applications; remediation of ecological contaminants, these are acting as a career for the delivery of drugs and various macro molecules, storage of H 2 gas, for catalytic conversions and for the processing of hydrocarbons. These are also used in anticancer therapy, sustained delivery for certain agents, as a template or nanoreactor for biocatalyst, in personal care, cosmetics and as environment caring. They are also used in the fabrication of high quality white-ware ceramics, nanotemplates and nano scale reaction bottles. Due to easy dispersability in polymer matrix, abundant availability and biocompatibility, HNTs are also used in different epoxy (EP) composites. In this review, we have tried to recap the different aspects of halloysites nanotubes for their use in different research fields.

“…In the case of HSP18.1, quaternary dynamics are temperature-regulated. In addition to post-translational modifications or changes of pH (21,64,65), the divalent metal ion Cu(II) emerges as a further factor regulating ␣B chaperone function. Indeed, we observe Cu(II)-enhanced chaperone activity for ␣B with respect to the amorphous aggregation of lensspecific ␤ L .…”

Background: ␣B-crystallin is an ATP-independent chaperone that prevents irreversible protein aggregation. Results: Cu(II) binds to the core domain of ␣B-crystallin, induces increased dynamics at the dimer interface, and thus modulates the anti-aggregation properties of the chaperone. Conclusion:The small heat-shock protein ␣B-crystallin is a metal-regulated chaperone. Significance:The results open new perspectives in the field of protein homeostasis and oxidative stress resistance.

Transcrystallization in nanofiber bundle/isotactic polypropylene composites: effect of matrix molecular weight

et al. 2012

Polyamide 66 (PA 66) nanofiber bundles were first electrospun and then introduced into isotactic polypropylene (iPP) melts to prepare nanofiber bundle/iPP composites. To reveal the influences of matrix molecular weight (M n ) on the transcrystalline layer, three kinds of iPP with different M n were adopted. Polarized optical microscope was employed to investigate the transcrystallinity. In the presence of PA 66 nanofiber bundle, the heterogeneous nucleation distinctly happened in iPP melts. Moreover, the higher the iPP M n , the denser the nuclei. Both a decrease in matrix M n and an increase in isothermal crystallization temperature led to an increase in the induction time. The maximum temperature at which the transcrystalline layer can be optically observed increased with the increase of M n . The growth rate of transcrystallinity decreased with the increasing M n and crystallization temperature. Moreover, selective melting of the transcrystalline layers confirmed that it was merely composed of α form crystal for all composites.
