Natural halloysite nanotubes (Hal) have been proved to be a promising nanocarrier in drug delivery system due to its unique tubular structure and excellent biocompatibility, but the anisotropic surfaces have not been fully exploited. Herein, a drug nanocarrier with effective pH-responsive properties...
