TL;DR: Halloysite is a natural tubular aluminosilicate clay of ca. 50 nm diameter and 0.5-1.5 micrometers in length as mentioned in this paper. And nanoarchitectural modification of halloysite inner/outer surfaces can be achieved t...

TL;DR: Halloysite tubular nanoclay was applied as a template for synthesis of ruthenium core-shell composite catalysts for the first time; 50 nm diameter ceramic tubular systems with metal seeded interiors were produced.

TL;DR: New heterogeneous hydrogenation catalysts, based on Pd nanoparticles and polypropyleneimine dendrimers of the third generation that have been covalently grafted to a silica surface modified with polyallylamine, have been synthesized.

TL;DR: The interest in functional supramolecular systems for the design of innovative materials and technologies, able to fundamentally change the world, is growing at a high pace as discussed by the authors, and the huge array of publications in recent years in the global literature calls for systematization of the structural trends inherent in the formation of these systems revealed at different molecular platforms and practically useful properties they exhibit.

TL;DR: The possibilities to synthesize halloysite decorated with metal, metal chalcogenide, and carbon nanoparticles, and to use these materials in various fields, especially in catalysis and petroleum refinery are discussed.
