Bionanocomposite film of kappa-carrageenan / nanotube clay: growth of hydroxyl apatite and model drug release
This paper reports for the first time the reinforcement of kappa-carrageenan (ĸCRG) with clay of halloysite nanotubes (HNT) as potential biomedical materials. The bionanocomposite films (ĸCRG/HNT) were successfully prepared having optimum tensile properties at 3 wt% of HNT. Morphological and surface...
