This paper presents a mathematical model of carbon nanotubes-based mediatorless biosensor. The developed model is based on nonlinear non-stationary reaction-diffusion equations. The model involves four layers (compartments): a layer of enzyme solution entrapped on a terylene membrane, a layer of the single walled carbon nanotubes deposited on a perforated membrane, and an outer diffusion layer. The biosensor response and sensitivity are investigated by changing the model parameters with a special emphasis on the mediatorless transfer of the electrons in the layer of the enzyme-loaded carbon nanotubes. The numerical simulation at transient and steady state conditions was carried out using the finite difference technique. The mathematical model and the numerical solution were validated by experimental data. The obtained agreement between the simulation results and the experimental data was admissible at different concentrations of the substrate.

NanoTube Construct is a web tool for the digital construction of nanotubes based on real and hypothetical single-layer materials including carbon-based materials such as graphene, graphane, graphyne polymorphs, graphidiyene and non-carbon materials such as silicene, germanene, boron nitride, hexagonal bilayer silica, haeckelite silica, molybdene disulfide and tungsten disulfide. Contrary to other available tools, NanoTube Construct has the following features: a) it is not limited to zero thickness materials with specific symmetry, b) it applies energy minimisation to the geometrically constructed Nanotubes to generate realistic ones, c) it derives atomistic descriptors (e.g.

The processing conditions were varied during the production of polycarbonate-based composites with the multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) Baytubes C150 P (Bayer MaterialScience AG, Leverkusen, Germany), by melt mixing with an extruder on a laboratory scale. These included the screw design, rotation speed, throughput, feeding position and MWCNT content. Particular attention was paid to the shortening of the MWCNT length as a function of the conditions mentioned.

Water dynamics inside hydrophobic confinement, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), has garnered significant attention, focusing on water diffusion. However, a crucial aspect remains unexplored - the influence of confinement size on water ordering and intrinsic hydrogen bond dynamics. To address this gap, we conducted extensive molecular dynamics simulations to investigate local ordering and intrinsic hydrogen bond dynamics of water molecules within CNTs of various sizes (length:20 nm, diameters: 1.
