Colloidal self-assembly refers to a solution-processed assembly of nanometer-/micrometer-
sized, well-dispersed particles into secondary structures, whose collective properties are …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a central part of advanced nanomaterials and are used in
state-of-the-art technologies, based on their high tensile strength, excellent thermal transfer …

The structure of halloysite nanotubes (Hal) from different mines was investigated by Small-
Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) and Electric Birefringence (EBR) experiments. The …

In this work, we investigated the effects of the vacuum pumping on both the loading
efficiencies and the release kinetics of halloysite nanotubes filled with drug molecules …

Titania is one of the most comprehensively studied nanostructures due to their widespread
applications in the production of catalytic, gas sensing, and corrosion-resistant materials. M …

Liquid crystals are mostly formed by self-assembly of organic molecules. In contrast,
inorganic materials available as liquid crystals are limited. Here we report the development …

Conspectus Bioinspired organic/inorganic synthetic composites have been studied as high-
performance and functional materials. In nature, biominerals such as pearls, teeth, and …

The phase diagram of colloidal suspensions of electrically charged nanosheets, such as
clays, despite their many industrial uses, is not yet understood either experimentally or …

Fluids that contain ordered nanostructures with periodic distances in the visible-wavelength
range, anomalously exhibit structural colours that can be rapidly modulated by external …

Biohybrid materials were prepared by co-assembling the three following components:
nanotubular halloysite, microfibrous sepiolite, and cellulose nanofibers dispersed in water …
