Investigating of the Dynamic Properties of Drug Adsorption onto Graphene Nanosheets

Graphene nanosheet (GNS) has attracted enormous interest due to its uniqueproperties. GNS as a new family of carbon nanomaterial has unique and superior propertiesincluding excellent thermal conductivity, mobility of charge, mechanical properties, electricalconductance, specific magnetism properties and large surface area. The adsorption behaviorof the Tetracycline (TC) molecules on GNS, in particular, the interaction mechanism betweenTC and GNS, has not been studied so far. Understanding the adsorption interaction and selfassemblyprocess will guide an improvement in the GNS dispersion and exfoliation.Furthermore, it will facilitate the design of novel graphene-based nanomaterials viasupramolecular noncovalent interaction. In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulationhas been performed to study the interaction between GNS and TC [1].
