Constructing regular stepped helices confined in carbon nanotubes with junctions
Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to investigate the confinement of coaxial single-walled carbon nanotubes with different diameters connected by junctions (J-CNTs) on one-dimensional poly(para)phenylene (PPP) polymer chains. The PPP chains enter the J-CNTs spontaneously and display a stepped helical configuration taking J-CNTs as template. The dynamics process, the variation of the total potential energy including various energy components and the constructed stepped helix are studied to reveal the evolution of microstructure, formation and driving mechanism. Besides, the influence of diameter and length of J-CNTs, the length and chain number of PPP polymer, and the number of junctions on the helical insertion and the construction of stepped helices is deeper studied. The expected outcome provides novel strategies for designing nanoscale regular stepped helices from polymer chains and applied to nanodevices.
