After defining the particle properties, continue to define Carbon Nanotube information.

...

Fill in the carbon nanotube properties as needed.

FieldDescription
Average Length

Enter the average length of the nanotube.

Length Unit

Select or enter the measurement unit type for the average length measurement of the nanotube.

Chirality

 The spatial position or orientation of functional groups located within a molecule. Enter information about the chirality in the nanotube and its effect on the orientation of functional groups located on the particle.

Diameter

Enter the measurement of the nanotube diameter, as measured from one side of the tube wall through the center of the nanotube to the opposite point on the circumference.

Diameter Unit

Enter the measurement unit type of the nanotube diameter.

Wall Type
  1. Select the appropriate description of the nanotube wall:
    • DWNT (Double-Wall Nanotube) Nanotube wall consists of two layers of graphitic carbon.
    • MWNT (Multiple-Wall Nanotube) Nanotube consists of single-walled nanotubes layered inside each other
    • SWNT (Single-wall Nanotube) Wall consists of a single layer of graphitic carbon

After defining the particle properties, continue to define Dendrimer information.

...

Fill in the dendrimer properties.

FieldDescription
Branch

Branches are molecules that branch off of the core (like tree branches). Enter a description that represents the number of branches in the dendrimer.

Generation

Generations are shells layered on the core of a dendrimer. Dendrimers consist of layers of chemical shells built on a core module. Each shell consists of two chemicals in the same order (A-B) and each shell is called a generation. The generations are labeled in decimal to illustrate the shell layering/consistency. For example, Generation 2.5 (G2.5) = 1 shell of A-B (1), surrounded by a second shell of A-B (2), topped off with only one chemical A within the shell (.5). As such, the layering structure would be (A-B, A-B, A) = 2.5.

List the generations reflected in this dendrimer.

 

After defining the particle properties, continue to define Emulsion information.
