Cover Story: This study aimed to create an antibacterial material by combining the unique properties of halloysite nanotubes with the iron-chelating capability of kojic acid. A rapid and easy reaction was employed to functionalize the nanotubes’ surface with kojic acid. The results suggested that the HNT–kojic acid formulation had great antibacterial activity against all the tested pathogens. The outcome of this work yielded a novel bio-based material with dual functionality as a drug carrier and an antimicrobial agent. This innovative approach holds promise for addressing challenges related to bacterial infections, antibiotic resistance, and the development of advanced therapeutic interventions. View this paper
