In this research, we investigate the heat transfer mechanisms from CNTs to cells using energy-conserving Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPDe) implemented within the Large-Scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS). Coarse-grained CNT models (comprising bead-like structures) are immersed in a water bead medium to replicate heat transfer from CNTs to the surrounding environment. We also analyze heat transfer from CNTs to the AV protein, the surrounding medium, and the cell membrane using a similar approach. The ultimate objective of this study is to enhance the optimization of functionalized CNTs for this specific therapeutic application.
