Reinforcement of poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel with halloysite nanotubes as potential biomedical materials
This work reports the reinforcement of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogel with halloysite nanotubes (HNT) as potential biomedical materials. The nanocomposite hydrogel was prepared using the facile and harmless process of freeze–thawing. Mechanical properties of the hydrogels were optimum at 2 wt% o...
