Self-assembled nanocapsules in water: a molecular mechanistic study

Abstract

One-end-open carbon nanotubes with an appropriate radius difference can coaxially self-assemble into a nanocapsule with very high internal pressure (on the order of 1 GPa), underpinning potential applications in nano-reactors, drug-delivery, etc.
