2.2.3 Halloysite Nanotubes
Halloysite nanotubes (HNT) are unique and versatile nanomaterials that are composed of double layer of aluminium, silicon, hydrogen and oxygen. Recently Ithas
reported that HNTs have typical dimensions of 10–50 nm in outer diameter,
5–20 nm in inner diameter with 2–40 mm in length [52]. Figure 5 shows the
model, SEM and TEM images of HNTs. Two types of HNT models are developed
for effective studies in field of nanotechnology: Single walled halloylsite nanotube
model and multi walled halloylsite nanotube model.
