Design and Characterization of Halloysite Polymer Doped Novel Drug Delivery Conjugate

Abstract

Background: Despite of significant advancements in the arena of nanotechnology newlineand novel drug delivery systems, nano-clays like halloysite nanotubes appears to be a newlinepotential boon for novel drug delivery system. However, these nanotubes do own newlinesome shortfalls. To overcome the drawbacks of halloysite nanotubes, doping of newlinehalloysite nanotubes serves as an ideal strategy to enhance the properties of halloysite newlinenanotubes. Hence, the doped halloysite nanotubes functions as a nano-carrier for the newlinedesign and development of antibacterial bio-polymeric wound dressings. newlineObjectives: The objective of the present research investigation is; newline1. To design and characterize doped HNTs by homogenization technique, to newlineenhance the desired properties of halloysite nanotubes. newline2. To optimize the doped HNTs by the application of statistical tool JMP newlinesoftware. newline3. To formulate and evaluate halloysite doped polymer conjugate into novel newlinedrug delivery system. newline
