    • Halloysite nanotube reinforced polylactic acid composite. 

      Chen, Yuanyuan; Geever, Luke M.; Killion, John; Lyons, John G.; Higginbotham, Clement L. (Wiley, 2017-10)
      Polylactic acid (PLA) has long history in medical applications, and reinforced PLA has the potential to be used in the medical applications that require high mechanical strength such as coronary stents and bone fixation ...
    • Surface modified halloysite nanotubes reinforced polylactic acid for use in biodegradable coronary stents. 

      Chen, Yuanyuan; Murphy, Alan; Scholz, Dimitri; Geever, Luke M.; Lyons, John G.; Devine, Declan M. (Wiley, 2019-08)
      Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was reinforced halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) in this study. To improve dispersion and interfacial adhesion of HNTs within the PLA matrix, HNTs were surface modified with 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane ...
