Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of nanocomposite materials, in particular to a halloysite nanotube / epoxy resin nanocomposite material. Background technique
[0002] Halloysite nanotubes are inexpensive natural nanotubes formed from sheets of kaolinite that curl under certain climatic conditions. Generally, the outer diameter of the tube is 40-100 nm, and the length is about 0.2-2 μm. HNTs are double-layer 1:1 aluminosilicates with the molecular formula Al 2 SiO 5 (OH) 4 ·nH 2 O (n=0 or 2), is formed by dislocation and coiling of aluminum-oxygen octahedra in the inner layer and silicon-oxygen tetrahedron in the outer layer, and crystal water exists between the layers. The outer surface of HNTs is mainly composed of Si-O-Si bonds, and the inner wall is mainly composed of aluminum hydroxyl groups. There are silicon / aluminum hydroxyl groups on the crystalline edges of HNTs or the end faces of the tubes, while a small amount of embedded hydroxyl gr...
