nanotubes (HNTs) are natural tubular materials which show a number of
attractive advantages such as the unique micro-spatial structure, large
length-diameter ratio, high lumen volume, nontoxicity and widespread. The
development of HNTs-based polymer composites expanded their applications in the
fields of energy, catalysis, bio-medical, environmental protection and many so
others. This review will briefly summarize the purification, characterization
and modification methods upon HNTs, in which the preparation and application of
the HNTs-based polymer composites are emphasized. We wrote this paper here
which may be beneficial
to the development of novel strategies for the preparation of new libraries of
HNTs-based polymer composites and the exploration of the applications.
