Pectin wrapped halloysite nanotube reinforced Polycaprolactone films for potential wound healing application.

The current research work focuses on preparing the polycaprolactone (PCL) based nanocomposite films embedded with surface modified Halloysite Nanotube (HNT). The avenue of the study is to unravel the applicability of polymer nanocomposites for wound healing. The flexible property of HNT was taken as the major force to accomplish the addition of biopolymer pectin onto its surface.

Sustainable organosolv-lignin coated nanosilver-halloysites reinforced poly (vinyl alcohol) nanocomposites for wound healing application.

This study involves the fabrication of innovative poly (vinyl alcohol) nanocomposite films by incorporating silver-embedded clay nanotubes with organosolv-lignin by the solution casting approach. The confirmation of this procedure was achieved through the utilisation of many techniques, including FTIR, PXRD, FE-SEM, and TGA. The aforementioned research have verified the adherence of silver nanoparticles to the surface of raw halloysites.

Incorporation of sodium alginate functionalized halloysite nanofillers into poly (vinyl alcohol) to study mechanical, cyto/heme compatibility and wound healing application.

In this study, the Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are surface-functionalized with sodium alginate (Sod.alg) and poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were employed to generate nanocomposite films (Sod.alg-rHNT/PVA).
