The overall objective of this project was to develop a CG model that produced similar nanotube characteristics as the experimentsand AA simulations. This was done by introducing a partial charge to the TP1 and TP2 beads and adding in the phantom VK bead down the center of the nanotube to maintain the nanotube structure throughout the CG simulation. The nanotube length and the axial rise of the ST RNT of the CG model was quantitatively similar to that of the AA simulations in. However, the LHT and RHT CG models need to be optimized to get closer to the AA values for the axial rise and the nanotube length. In addition, it is possible that this model will need to be further optimized
