HALLOYSITE CLAY NANOTUBES
Most natural clays consist of stacks of Clay nanoplatelets that can be separated from each other (exfoliated). A vast amount of literature exists about all aspects of the science, technology, and applications of platy clays.
Halloysite, by contrast, consists of bundles of clay nanotubes that can be separated from each other (exfoliated). It is found in much fewer locations than platy clays. It is much less familiar than platy clays. Its applications are at an earlier stage of development than the applications of platy clays.
