In this study, the dispersion of aggregated boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) in aqueous triton X-100 surfactant solution is studied using molecular dynamic simulation. The results indicate that how in the presence of the surfactant, a space between two BNNTs is created, which leads to the dispersion of the BNNTs. The radial distribution functions (RDFs) of the atoms of BNNTs and hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments of the surfactant respect to atoms of water molecules show that in the presence of the surfactant, a layer of water molecules is located in the neighborhood of the BNNTs and then hydrophobic and hydrophilic segments of the surfactant reside at more distances of the BNNTs. In the absence of the surfactant, the hydrogen bond between nitrogen atom of the BNNT and hydrogen atom of water molecules is established and the distance between water molecules and the BNNTs is decreased with increase of the surfactant concentration. The obtained results for the surfactant radius of gyration and the interfacial angle between two BNNTs reveal more information about the arrangement of the surfactants around the BNNTs in the presence and in the absence of water molecules.

Norepinephrine, synthesized from tyrosine, is a neurotransmitter of sympathetic post-ganglion neurons. Norepinephrine regulates many critical functions which include attention, memory, learning and cardiovascular functions. This neurotransmitter has several pharmacological uses, such as adrenergic stimulants, widely used in the treatment of hypertension, cardiac surgery and in myocardial infarction. It is extremely important to study the interaction between drugs and water molecules, for a better understanding of absorption, transport and biological action. Within this context, the Car-Parrinello Molecular Dynamics, by treating the solvent explicitly, becomes ideal for the study of solvated media. In this sense, the objective of this work is to analyze the effects of aqueous solvation on the geometric and electronic parameters of norepinephrine using the Molecular Dynamics of Car-Parrinelo. The solvation dynamics was performed using the CPMD program package (version 4.1). The Radial Distribution Function of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms of the water molecules in the first solvation shell were performed for the O1, O2, O3, N7, H4, H5, H6, H8 and H9 atoms of the norepinephrine. The Radial Distribution Function analyzes indicate that most sites have a well-defined peak (N7, O1, O3, H4, H5 and H6). For the O2, H8 e H9 atoms, there are no well-defined peaks, suggesting that these sites do not interact with the atoms of the water molecules, or even the possibility of intra-molecular interactions. These criteria were considered for the next stages of this work, which are already being carried out, and they are analyzes of possible interactions of hydrogen with these sites.

To demonstrate simultaneously how the solvation dynamics and rotational relaxation in nonionic micelles change with the composition of a gemini surfactant and how this change depends on spacer chain length of gemini surfactants.
