The surface of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) was bifunctionalized with two ligands-folic acid and a fluorochrome. In tandem, this combination should selectively target cancer cells and provide a means for imaging the nanoparticle. Modified bi-functionalized HNTs (bi-HNTs) were then doped with the anti...
