The interaction of triclosan on (8,0) and (5,5) single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) was investigated using density functional calculations. The results show that the adsorption of triclosan modifies the electronic properties of pristine (8,0) and (5,5) SWCNT and induced changes in the electronic properties are dependent on the triclosan adsorption site. It was observed through binding energy that triclosan molecule interacts mainly via chemical process in parallel configuration to (8,0) SWCNT, while interaction via physical process was observed with both (8,0) and (5,5) SWCNT. It is proposed that these SWCNTs are a potential filter device due to reasonable physical interaction with triclosan molecule. Furthermore, this type of filter could be reusable, therefore after the filtering, the SWCNTs could be separated from triclosan molecule.
In this work, a systematic study of 17α-ethinylestradiol and estrone molecules interacting with single wall carbon nanotube is presented by means of first principle calculations. The structural properties, binding energy, charge transfer, and electronic properties were calculated and analyzed to characterize the effect of interaction of 17α-ethinylestradiol and estrone molecules on the nanotube surface. Results show that the molecular structure and electronic character of single wall carbon nanotube were not affected due to the presence of the molecules. It is observed via binding energy calculated that ethinylestradiol and estrone molecules interact weakly with the nanotube. The results are very interesting once that they suggest that nanotubes are sensitive to 17α-ethinylestradiol and estrone molecules which can lead to confection of sensor to detect these molecules.
Este trabalho é resultado de uma pesquisa de caráter experimental realizada em uma escola pública estadual na cidade de São Luís, Maranhão, durante o primeiro semestre de 2015. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida pensando nas dificuldades relatadas pelos professores e alunos relativos ao ensino e a aprendizagem dos temas eletrostática e eletromagnetismo na abordagem sobre força elétrica, campo elétrico, resistores e suas associações, magnetismo, indução magnética, geradores e capacitores e suas associações, dentre outros assuntos. As simulações computacionais e os experimentos foram utilizados como ferramentas auxiliares no processo de aprendizagem de alunos do terceiro ano do ensino médio, seguindo três etapas: inicialmente, aplicou-se um questionário para verificar conhecimentos específicos dos temas a serem abordados; na segunda etapa, foram realizadas atividades utilizando simulações computacionais e práticas experimentais; e, por último, foi reaplicado o questionário inicial, a fim de verificar o desenvolvimento dos estudantes com o uso das duas ferramentas. A pesquisa mostrou que o uso das duas ferramentas proporcionou aos estudantes aprendizagem mais significativa, sendo que simulações computacionais mostraram maior potencial de inserção na escola como ferramentas auxiliares, por demandar menor custo para sua manutenção e menor tempo para o planejamento das aulas, quando comparado com as atividades experimentais. O uso destas ferramentas possibilitou uma nova visão da disciplina de física para os estudantes participantes.COMPUTATIONAL SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL ACTIVITY: educational tools to aid the teaching of physicsAbstractThis work is the result of an experimental research realized in a state public school on city of São Luís, Maranhão, during the first semester of 2015. The research was developed considering the difficulties reported by teachers and students to teach and learn of the electrostatic and electromagnetism subjects, such as electric force, electric field, resistors and their associations, magnetism, magnetic induction, generators and capacitors and their associations and others subjects. The Computational simulations and experiments were used as auxiliary tools in the learning process of students of third year high school students following three stages: initially a questionnaire was applied to verify the specific knowledge of the topics to be addressed; on the second stage was realized activities using computational simulations and experimental practices; and finally the initial questionnaire was reapplied to verify the student’s development with the two tools. The research showed that the use of both tools provided the students a learning effective, and computational simulations showed greater potential for insertion in the school as auxiliary tools, because they demand less cost for their maintenance and less time for class planning when compared with experimental activities. The use of these tools have possibility a new insight into the physics discipline for the participating students.Keywords: Physics teaching. Computer simulations. Experimental activities.
