چکیده مقاله:

The aim of this study is investigating the transport mechanism of ibuprofen chiral isomers inside single wall carbon nano tube (SWCNT) using mathematical modeling. To achieve this goal, molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to evaluate the interactions of ibuprofen isomers with SWCNT in an aqueous solution. Results show that both chiral forms of ibuprofen molecules enter and remain inside SWCNT from their methyl side chains and their movement is not along the centerline of the tube. The distance of the closest atom of the drug molecule from SWCNT surface is around 2.26A˚. A tilted angle between ibuprofen molecule and internal surface of SWCNT is detected to be around 34◦. Moreover, these ibuprofen chiral forms interact to each other from their carboxylic side chain. This causes ibuprofen fluctuation inside SWCNT around the tube axis. Also, calculated results do not show any significant differences between selectivity of SWCNT toward R- and S- chiral forms of ibuprofen molecule. This confirms that both ibuprofen chiral forms have the same transport mechanism inside SWCNT.

Separation of ibuprofen drugs enantiomers by using chiral carbon nanotube with molecular dynamics simulation

Background: The separation of drug enantiomers in the pharmaceutical industry is of great importance since most organic compounds are chiral. The main purpose of this study was to calculate the binding energy of ibuprofen isomers interacting with the CNT, according to various adsorption configurations. Moreover, we have evaluated the performance of (16.4) chiral carbon nanotube for separation o...

Novel polygonized single-wall carbon nanotube bundles.

We have synthesized novel crystalline ropes of "polygonized" single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The tubes exhibit rounded-hexagonal cross sections in contrast to the earlier observations of nearly circular tubes. To investigate the structural characteristics of the lattice of SWCNTs we have performed extensive molecular-dynamics simulations. We find several metastable structures of the latt...

Formation of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Superbundles

Since their discovery in 1993,1,2 carbon single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) have been of great interest because of their expected novel electronic,3 mechanical,4 and gas adsorption properties.5 Difficulties arise in measuring these various properties because the SWNTs currently available for analyses have very small bundle sizes (1020 nm) and are typically in random orientations. A vital step for th...

Photoconductivity in single wall carbon nanotube sheets

In this paper we report for the first time, the photoconductivity of large area sheets of single wall carbon nanotube upon laser illumination. The photoconductivity exhibited an increase, decrease or even ‘negative’ values when the laser spot was on different positions between contact electrodes, showing a ‘position’ dependent effect of photoconductivity. Photon induced charge carrier generatio...

Single Wall Carbon Nanotube Weak Links

We have reproducibly contacted gated single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) to su-perconducting leads based on niobium. The devices are identified to belong to two transparency regimes: The Coulomb blockade and the Kondo regime. Clear signature of the superconducting leads is observed in both regimes and in the Kondo regime a narrow zero bias peak interpreted as a proximity induced supercurrent p...
