Comparison of theoretical effects of encapsulation floxuridine anticancer drug with boron nitride nanotube and carbon nanotube with NBO and QTAIM studies
Background: The purpose of using nano-carriers for drugs delivery, such as nanotubes, is slow release of drug and reducing side effects of drugs. Drugs are very active due to their many functional groups. Therefore, reactivity of drug is reduced by being in nanotube field due to electronic resonance of drug with nanotube and it stays longer in body. As a result, less amount of drug is used and ...
متن کاملBending Analysis of Carbon Nanotubes with Small Initial Curvature Embedded on an Elastic Medium Based on Nonlocal Elasticity and Galerkin Method
Carbon nanotubes have an important role in reinforcing nanocomposits. Many experimental observations have shown that in the most nanostructures such as nanocomposites, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are often characterized by a certain degree of waviness along their axial direction. In the present paper, the effects of initial curvature, influence of surrounding medium that is modeled as Winkler elast...

Abstract The structural and electrostatic properties of the single-walled two representative (8, 0) zigzag and (4, 4) armchair models of pristine and GaAs-doped on boron phosphide nanotubes (BPNTs) was investigated by calculating the nuclear magnetic resonance tensors and with performing the density function theory. The geometrical structures of all representative pristine and GaAs-doped mode...

Due to emergence of serious obstacles by scaling of the transistors dimensions, it has been obviously proved that silicon technology should be replaced by a new one having a high ability to overcome the barriers of scaling to nanometer regime. Among various candidates, carbon nanotube (CNT) field effect transistors are introduced as the most promising devices for substituting the silicon-based ...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effects of Molecular Oxygen Impurity on the Quadrupole Coupling Constants of Boron Nitride Nanotubes: Computational Studies
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to investigating the effects of themolecular oxygen impurity on the quadrupole coupling constant (Qcc) parameters of armchair and zigzagboron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). Optimization processes have been performed to relax the original andimpure structures of the investigated BNNTs. Afterwards, the Qcc parameters have been evaluated...
