Carbon peapods can serve as nanoscale test tubes. Fullerenes containing reactants diffuse into an SWNT and a high-energy electron beam can displace carbon atoms and induce high reactivity, triggering formation of C60 dimers and merging their contents. Carbon nanotubes have potential as biomolecular drug delivery platforms of proteins & nucleotides by penetrating cells directly. They would have superior pharmacological and therapeutic profiles for enhanced efficacy of the drugs they could deliver.
Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) parts for 30+ years and are compatible with every molecular model kit we have sold. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
This single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) molecular model kit comes with 176 atoms 256 30mm bonds for building your one layer nano-tube structure. The number of hexagons can be varied to make the tube either wider or longer; the two versions shown contain 8 and 6 chains of hexagons respectively. The 30mm bonds are used since they are flexible enough to allow you to build a narrow tube if needed.
