摘要
Chitosan membranes reinforced by halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) at concentrations from 2 to 15 (w/w%) have been prepared by solution casting to investigate the optimal physicochemical properties for biomedical applications. Tensile test data revealed that the membranes reinforced with 5 (w/w%) HNTs yielded the highest Young's modulus (0.52 +/- 0.01 GPa) and strength (81.6 +/- 4.4 MPa). Electron micrographs of the fractured surfaces implicated the interplay between individual HNTs and agglomerates of HNTs in the stress transfer mechanism. Infrared spectra revealed interaction between the HNT siloxane and chitosan functional groups. Thermogravimetric results demonstrated that the thermal stability of the membranes increased with HNT concentration. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
