Electrophoretic deposition of composite chitosan–halloysite nanotube–hydroxyapatite films
Abstract
Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method has been developed for the deposition of halloysite nanotubes (HNT) and fabrication of composite chitosan–HNT and chitosan–HNT–hydroxyapatite(HA) films. The use of chitosan as a dispersing and charging agent for both HNT and HA allowed the formation of chitosan–HNT–HA monolayers, films of graded composition and multilayer laminates, containing different layers. The quartz crystal microbalance method was …
