Dataset for: Targeted and Stimulus-Responsive Delivery of Surfactant to the Oil-Water Interface for Applications in Oil Spill Remediation

In this study individual halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) pre-loaded with Tween 80 surfactant were coated with a thin layer of long chain hydrocarbon wax (Paraffin wax, C20 – C40) with a high melting point. In addition, there was an extensive characterization of the morphology of Pristine halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), Tween 80 loaded halloysite nanotubes (S-HNTs) and Waxcoated, surfactant-loaded halloysite nanotubes.
