AbstractNovel biomaterials for diagnostics and therapeutics of biomedical issues have been considered using biomedical science and health care. Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are naturally occurring aluminosilicate clay. Because of their unique hollow tubular structure, biodegradability, mechanical and surface properties, they have drawn the attention of researchers to a variety of biomedical applications. HNTs are inorganic natural aluminosilicates that are tubular-shaped and nanosized. These are well-known nanofillers and nanocontainers used to develop composites for various biomedical applications to load bioactive molecules and therapeutic agents. HNTs-polymer nanocomposites, their characterizations, properties, and applications in biomedical fields are all covered in this review paper. The current article provides an overview of HNTs and their applications in medical and biomedical settings, focusing on individualized HNTs and drug loading methods and biomedical applications, which may aid researchers in developing novel biomaterials for biomedical engineering and health care.
