Abstract
Imogolite is a naturally occurring nanotube aluminum silicate. It is classified as a clay mineral, with tube dimensions of about 2 nm in outside diameter, 1 nm in inside diameter, and lengths ranging from tens of nanometers to several micrometers. Imogolite is remarkable not only for its nanoscale fibrous microstructure and its high surface area but also in its ability to adsorb water. So it can be expected to find a wide range of applications. In this chapter, synthesis method for imogolite and applications for anti-dewing materials and heat exchange material in adsorption-type heat pump systems are described.
