Design and Characterization of Novel Nanohybrids from Natural Inorganic Nanofibers

【Supercategory:2. Fiber manufacturing Category:2.1 Special fiber Subcategory:2.1.1 Nanofiber

 Imogolite and halloysite are naturally occurring aluminosilicate nanotube. Imogolite consists of a single-wall nanotubes. We made surface functionalization of imogolite and halloysite and prepare novel polymer nanohybrids.
