Abstract

© the Partner Organisations 2014. Copper nanoparticle supported halloysite nanotubes with a 15 nm lumen and 30 nm external diameter via surface initiation reverse atom transfer radical polymerization were fabricated and showed good antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli).
