      Nanotubes by Evaporation-Induced Self-Assembly.

AB  - Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are one-dimensional clay nanomaterials featuring 
      distinct tubular structures and unique surface charges. HNTs can readily form 
      ordered assembly structures under specific conditions, which shows significant 
      potential applications in optical and biological fields. In this study, sodium 
      hexametaphosphate (SHMP) was employed as a stabilizer to prepare polymer 
      spherulite-like patterns via the evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) 
      technique. The incorporation of SHMP enhanced the repulsion force among the 
      nanotubes and the surface potential, which facilitated the orderly deposition of 
      HNTs. The influence of HNT concentration, SHMP concentration, drying temperature, 
      and substrate on the polymer spherulites-like pattern has been investigated in 
      detail. The optimal conditions were 10 wt % HNT dispersion, 0.6 wt % SHMP 
      concentration, 30  degrees C as drying temperature, and glass substrates. In addition, by 
      changing the droplet volume and shape of the three-phase contact line, patterns 
      of different sizes and shapes can be achieved. Bovine serum albumin or metal salt 
      compounds were incorporated into the dispersion of SHMP-modified HNTs, which 
      altered the charge and the self-assembled patterns with different area ratios. 
      Thus, this technology can be utilized for the analysis and comparison of protein 
      and metal ion concentration accurately. This study creates the correlation 
      between the structural parameters and the preparation process involved in 
      creating polymer spherulite-like patterns of modified HNTs and offers fresh 
      insights into potential applications for the self-assembly of HNT droplets in the 
      realms of anticounterfeiting and solution concentration analysis.
