Hybrid organic/inorganic nanotubes of imogolite type
… is to describe the developments obtained in imogolite research field, concerning the synthesis and characterization of two new modified imogolite nanotubes, either by direct or post-synthesis reactions, as compared to unmodified synthetic imogolite. Using a methylated Si precursor instead of …

Bringing down barriers to the tunability, purity, and scalability of imogolite nanotubes
Synthetic imogolite is an aluminosilicate nanotube 2.1 to 2.3 nm wide and up to 1000 nm long. The high aspect ratio and ability to modify specific functional groups are desirable attributes affording it a wide range of potential. Additionally, the isomorphic substitution of Ge for Si in the …

Multivariate Analysis of Factors Regulating the Formation of Synthetic Allophane and Imogolite Nanoparticles
Imogolite and allophane are nanosized aluminosilicates with high value in industrial and technological applications, however it remains unclear what factors control their formation and abundance in nature and in the lab. This work investigated the complex system of physical and chemical conditions …

Multiscale Modeling of the Mechanical Behavior of Clay
… both with 2:1 sheet structures, and nanotubular imogolite (1:1). Illite particles exhibit a well-defined potential well at 11 Å separation, enabling particle aggregation in face-face configurations, while Nasmectite (with lower surface charge density) exhibits net repulsion for separations less …
