Polyacrylamide modification of halloysite nanotubes surface by inverse emulsion polymerisation and their application in reinforcing PTFE
TL;DR: In this article, the authors exploited the abundant hydroxyl group of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) to induce acrylamide-polymerization modification by inverse emulsion (water-in-oil), resulting in polyacrylamides (PAM)-modified HNTs.

Interfacial Surface Properties of Compression Moulded Hydrolysed Polyvinyl Acetate (PVAc) Using Different Release Materials
TL;DR: In this paper , three different mould surface materials were used to produce compression moulded PVAc sheets which were treated with aqueous NaOH at a range of concentrations and the results showed that the Teflon surface had the most polar attributes and the Kapton surface was the most dispersive.

A Review of Carbon Nanotube Toxicity and Assessment of Potential Occupational and Environmental Health Risks
TL;DR: It is speculated that exposure to combustion-generated MWCNTs in fine PM may play a significant role in air pollution-related cardiopulmonary diseases by pollutants, and the possible mechanisms of CNT pathogenesis in the lung and the impact of residual metals and other impurities on the toxicological manifestations are presented.
