Hydrophobically modified chitosan biopolymer connects halloysite nanotubes at the oil-water interface as complementary pair for stabilizing oil droplets

Olasehinde Owoseni et al.

Summary: The integration of cationic and hydrophobic functionalities into hydrophobically modified chitosan (HMC) biopolymer facilitates complementary emulsion stabilization with negatively charged halloysite clay nanotubes (HNT). The adsorption of the cationic HMC onto the negatively charged HNT modifies the surface wettability of the nanotubes, facilitating the attachment of the nanotubes to the oil-water interface. Hydrophobic interaction, insertion of HMC hydrophobes into the oil phase, and electrostatic interactions between HMC and HNT are proposed as key mechanisms driving the increased emulsion stability.

Onion skin extract immobilized on Halloysite-layered double hydroxide filler as active pH indicator for food packaging

E. Boccalon et al.

Summary: This work presents the use of potato starch films embedded with a cyanidin-rich onion extract as a food quality sensor. The extract's cyanidin reacts to pH changes caused by food spoilage, allowing it to replace synthetic pigments for monitoring food freshness. The extract is stabilized by being anchored on the surface of a filler made of halloysite nanotubes coated with layered double hydroxide nanocrystals. The filler, synthesized through a sustainable and solvent-free method, not only stabilizes the extract but also serves as a carrier for active species to extend the product's shelf-life.

Boyan Tang et al.

Summary: Hydrogen peroxide is a significant diagnostic marker in organisms, and producing a colorimetric H2O2-responsive smart material is desired but challenging. A colorimetric H2O2-responsive hydrogel was prepared with a phenolphthalein-based cross-linking agent, and the addition of halloysite improved mechanical properties and reduced initial burst release. The drug release behavior showed typical H2O2-responsive characteristics, and the colorimetric feature can estimate H2O2 levels and drug release rates.
