JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2014; 276:58-65.

Abstract
A new type of magnetic halloysite nanotubes molecularly imprinted polymer (MHNTs@MIP) based on halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) with embedded magnetic nanoparticles was introduced in this study. MHNTs@MIP was prepared through surface imprinting technology, using 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) as a template, 4-vinylpyridine as the monomer, divinylbenzene as cross-linking agents, and 2,2-azodiisobutyronitrile as initiator. MHNTs@MIP was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and vibrating sample magnetometer. MHNTs@MIP exhibited rapid and reliable analysis with supermagnetic properties, as well as repeated use and template-specific recognition. The adsorption capacity of magnetic halloysite nanotubes non-imprinted polymer (MHNTs@NIP) and MHNTs@MIP was 10.3mg/g and 35.2mg/g, respectively. In the detailed discussion on specific selectivity, MHNTs@MIP can be applied as an adsorbent for sample pretreatment extraction and obtain high recoveries of about 85-94%. After extraction, high-performance liquid chromatography was used to detect 2,4-D residue in water.

Abstract
Natural halloysite clay nanotubes with 50 nm outer- and 15 nm inner- diameters are described as miniature vehicles for sustained release of drugs and proteins. The release time may be adjusted from 10 to 200 h with the tube surface polymeric coating. An explanation of sustained release through locking electrical potential at the nanotube ends is suggested. These biocompatible ceramic tubes may be also used for architectural construction of nanoshells on microbes through alternation with polycations to enhance the intrinsic properties of biological cells. Halloysite nanotubes (pristine or drug-loaded) are well mixable with polar and low-polar polymers allowing for functional biocomposites with enhanced mechanical strength, adhesivity and slow release of drugs or other chemical agents. Halloysite is nontoxic abundantly available from natural deposit material which does not require exfoliation or other complicated energy consuming processing.

Abstract
Porous aluminum oxide (PAO), a nanostructured support for, among others, culturing microorganisms, was chemically modified in order to attach biomolecules that can selectively interact with target bacteria. We present the first comprehensive study of monolayer-modified PAO using conditions that are relevant to microbial growth with a range of functional groups (carboxylic acid, α-hydroxycarboxylic acid, alkyne, alkene, phosphonic acid, and silane). Their stability was initially assessed in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.0) at room temperature. The most stable combination (PAO with phosphonic acids) was further studied over a range of physiological pHs (4-8) and temperatures (up to 80 °C). Varying the pH had no significant effect on the stability, but it gradually decreased with increasing temperature. The stability of phosphonic acid-modified PAO surfaces was shown to depend strongly on the other terminal group of the monolayer structure: in general, hydrophilic monolayers were less stable than hydrophobic monolayers. Finally, an alkyne-terminated PAO surface was reacted with an azide-linked mannose derivative. The resulting mannose-presenting PAO surface showed the clearly increased adherence of a mannose-binding bacterium, Lactobacillus plantarum, and also allowed for bacterial outgrowth.

Abstract
An "inorganic micelle" structure that has a hydrophilic cavity and hydrophobic surface has been synthesized. The inorganic micelles possess large surface area and controllable hydrophobic/hydrophilic interface. It shows high catalytic efficiency and great recyclability in the bromination of alcohols. This work suggests that inorganic micelles may be suitable for selective organic syntheses as well as industrial applications and demonstrates the value of translating nanostructure design from organic to inorganic.

Abstract
We prepared hybrid halloysite nanotubes (HNT/sodium alkanoates) in which the inner cavity of the nanoclay was selectively modified. Physicochemical studies evidenced the interactions between HNT and sodium alkanoates, ruled out clay exfoliation, quantified the amount of the loaded substance, and showed an increase of the total net negative charge, allowing us to obtain rather stable aqueous nanoclay dispersions. These dispersions were exploited as inorganic micelles to capture hydrocarbon and aromatic oils in the vapor and liquid states and were revealed to be nonfoaming but very efficient in encapsulating oils. Here, we have fabricated biocompatibile and low-cost inorganic micelles that can be exploited for industrial applications on a large scale.

Abstract
We have demonstrated the fabrication of fluorine-free liquid marbles from halloysite nanotube. Halloysite is a naturally occurring inorganic nanotube that has a high aspect ratio, and the surface was modified with octadecyltrimethoxysilane. The surface-modified halloysite formed pincushion agglomerates on the surface of the liquid droplets, which create superhydrophobic surface similar to that of the plant gall surface prepared by aphids. As a result, the liquid marbles showed high mechanical strength upon impact without the use of low surface energy fluoroalkyl or fluorine-modified materials. Our results suggest a new strategy for designing novel materials for liquid marbles inspired by nature.

Abstract
Halloysite clay nanotubes were selectivity modified by adsorbing perfluoroalkylated anionic surfactants at the inner surface. The modified nanotubes formed kinetically stable dispersions due to the enhanced electrostatic repulsions exercised between the particles. We proved that the modified nanotubes can be used as non-foaming oxygen nanocontainers in aqueous media. The gas release from supersaturated dispersions can be controlled by external stimuli and system composition. In conclusion, we managed to put forward an easy strategy to develop smart materials from natural nanoclays, which can endow important applications like the storage and delivery of gas.

Abstract
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) have been proposed as a potential support to immobilize enzymes. Improving enzyme loading on HNTs is critical to their practical applications. Herein, we reported a simple method on the preparation of high-enzyme-loading support by modification with dopamine on the surface of HNTs. The modified HNTs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses. The results showed that dopamine could self-polymerize to adhere to the surface of HNTs and form a thin active coating. While the prepared hybrid nanotubes were used to immobilize enzyme of laccase, they exhibited high loading ability of 168.8 mg/g support, which was greatly higher than that on the pristine HNTs (11.6 mg/g support). The immobilized laccase could retain more than 90% initial activity after 30 days of storage and the free laccase only 32%. The immobilized laccase could also maintain more than 90% initial activity after five repeated uses. In addition, the immobilized laccase exhibited a rapid degradation rate and high degradation efficiency for removal of phenol compounds. These advantages indicated that the new hybrid material can be used as a low-cost and effective support to immobilize enzymes.

Abstract
The liquid crystalline phase behavior and sol-gel transition in halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) aqueous dispersions have been investigated by applying polarized optical microscopy (POM), macroscopic observation, rheometer, small-angle X-ray scattering, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The liquid crystalline phase starts to form at the HNT concentration of 1 wt %, and a full liquid crystalline phase forms at the HNT concentration of 25 wt % as observed by POM and macroscopic observation. Rheological measurements indicate a typical shear flow behavior for the HNT aqueous dispersions with concentrations above 20 wt % and further confirm that the sol-gel transition occurs at the HNT concentration of 37 wt %. Furthermore, the HNT aqueous dispersions exhibit pH-induced gelation with more intense birefringence when hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added. The above findings shed light on the phase behaviors of diversely topological HNTs and lay the foundation for fabrication of the long-range ordered nano-objects.

Abstract
The exploration of nanostructures and nanomaterials is essential to the development of advanced functions. For such innovations, nanoarchitectonics has been proposed as a novel paradigm of nanotechnology aimed at assembling nanoscale structural units into predesigned configurations or arrangements. In this Feature Article, we provide an overview of several recent research works from the viewpoint of interfacial nanoarchitectonics with features developed in lateral directions or grown in vertical directions with construction on solid, static, or flexible dynamic surfaces. Lateral nanoarchitectonics at a static interface provides molecular organization by bottom-up nanoarchitectonics and can also be used to realize device integration by top-down nanoarchitectonics. In particular, in the latter case, the fabrication of novel devices, so-called atomic switches, are introduced as a demonstration of atomic-level electronics. Lateral nanoarchitectonics at dynamic interfaces is exemplified by 2D molecular patterning and molecular machine operation induced by macroscopic motion. The dynamic nature of interfaces enables us to operate molecular-sized machines by macroscopic mechanical stimuli such as our hand motion, which we refer to as hand-operated nanotechnology. Vertical nanoarchitectonics is mainly discussed in relation to layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly. By using this technique, we can assemble a variety of functional materials in ultrathin film structures of defined thickness and layer sequence. The organization of biomolecules (or even living cells) within thin films and their integration with device structures is exemplified. Finally, the anticipated research directions of interfacial nanoarchitectonics are described.

Abstract
Halloysite, naturally occurring clay nanotubes, is described as an additive for functional polymer composites. Due to the empty tubular lumen capable of being loaded with chemically active agents, halloysite provides additional functions (drug delivery, antibiotic, flame-retardant, anticorrosion, and crack self-healing) to polymeric composites synergistically combined with enhanced tensile, impact and adhesive strength. Doping loaded clay nanotubes into a polymeric matrix provides a kind of ceramic "skeleton", and these "skeleton bones" are loaded with functional chemicals like real bones loaded with marrow. Tunable controlled release of active agents through synthesis of artificial nano-caps at the tube endings and halloysite lumen enlargement by selective etching allowed for tubular nanocontainers with chemicals release time from 10 to 200 h and a loading capacity of ca. 30 wt%. Halloysite is well mixable with polymers of high and medium polarities without any surface modification.

Abstract
Aggregation and dispersion behaviours of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were influenced by pH. The meso- and micro-porosity of halloysite were determined by N2 gas physisorption. The blocking and opening of halloysite nanotube pores with acid, neutral, and base treatment were detected in a micro- and mesoporous matrix of tunable porosity. The inner pores of HNTs were opened with base treatment, but were closed with acid or neutral treatment.

Abstract
We report the development of silica/polymer double-walled hybrid nanotubes, which consist of a hollow cavity, a porous silica inner wall, and a stimuli-responsive (pH, temperature, and redox) polymeric outer wall, as a novel nanocontainer system. The length, diameter, wall thickness, and aspect ratio of the hybrid nanotubes are precisely controlled in the range of 48-506 nm, 41-68 nm, 3-24 nm, and 1.2-7.6, respectively. The hybrid nanotubes loaded with active molecules exhibit morphology-dependent release and pH-, temperature-, redox-responsive release, which enable a wide range of applications from energy storage to drug delivery and self-healing coatings for metal corrosion protection.
