Abstract Novel kappa-carrageenan (Kc)/halloysite nanotube (HNT) nanocomposite hydrogels were synthesized via physical crosslinking for the gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) release. The influence of HNT nanoparticle content on Kc/HNT hydrogel properties such as thermal, swelling, drug loading and in vitro release was examined. Thermal results revealed that the incorporation of HNT nanoparticles enhanced the thermal stability of the nanocomposite hydrogels. Also, the nanocomposite hydrogels showed...
