Polymer Adsorption onto Double Walled Imogolite Nanotubes
We intend to study the selective adsorption of polymers onto Imogolite nanotubes (INT). Recently, the use of nanotubular clays received an outburst in literature due to the improvement of the properties of the materials and the possibility to load and release molecules for specific application. We recently succeeded in forming stable INT dispersions in water and the polymer adsorption was strongly dependent on the polymer molecular weight. The structure of these dispersions is of essential interest for the understanding of the hybrid nanocomposites obtained and their anisotropic orientation induced by excluded volume or depletion effects. These aspects are strategic for potential applications of the dispersions themselves.
