Microemulsion Encapsulated into Halloysite Nanotubes and their Applications for Cleaning of a Marble Surface

Halloysite nanotubes were used to incorporate anionic surfactant micelles and an organic solvent to generate a cleaning system to be applied in Cultural Heritage restoration. The targeted adsorption is driven by electrostatic interactions based on the nanotubes peculiar charge separation. Namely ani...
