Mathematical Analysis in Characterization of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) as possible Mosquito Repellents

Mosquitoes are a great threat to human health date and subject of interdisciplinary research involving scientists from many areas. Recently much attention has been put novel approaches mosquito repellent products that involve the use materials, such as carbon nanomaterials, where it is essential determine their properties. This discusses full molecular characterization nanotubes (CNTs) produced by electrolysis in molten salts. Each CNT its mathematical representation due hexagonal lattice structure. Multi-wall (MWCNTs) considered. The focus on determining structural parameters: innermost outermost diameters, chiral indices m n, number walls, unit cell parameters. Corresponding frequency parts Raman spectra four experimentally CNTs elaborated, Python programming Mathematica employed for most accurate (m,n) assignment. Determining chirality these samples enables calculation other properties, which performed now, including graph representation. latter evaluation different distance-based topological (Wiener, Balaban, Sum-Balaban, Harary index, etc.) predict some index-related properties molecules.
