Synthesis And Characterization Of Halloysite/Polyaniline Nanocomposites

Halloysite is aluminosilicate clay with hollow tubular structure of 50 nm external diameter and 15 nm diameter lumen. Recently, an increasing number of studies havefocused on the synthesis of Halloysite/conducting polymers nanocomposites and their properties and applications [1-3].According to HNT structure and conducting polymer propertiese these nanocomposites have wide potential to use in energy and hydrogen storage, contaminants removal and drugdelivery [4-5]. In this work, aniline was in situ polymerized in the presence of HNT in various weight ratio.
