Abstract: Nanotechnology is a promising research area, and it is believed that the unique properties of molecules at the nano-scale will benefit mankind especially in the medical exploration. The use of nanotechnology in pharmaceutical is an important topic in order to transport drugs to the targeted cells. Here, we utilize an applied mathematical modelling to determine the encapsulation of an assumed spherical drug molecule inside a spherical capsule, where both molecules are assumed to be Goldberg Type I fullerenes with different sizes and the drug molecule is assumed to be a C60 fullerene. Moreover, Lennard-Jones potential function and the continuous approximation, where atoms at discrete locations are approximated by an averaged surface density of atoms, are employed to determine the energy and force distribution of the system. The equilibrium position of the drug molecule in the capsule is obtained at the globe minimum energy position. Further, an analytical solution is!
obtained as a function of the molecule radii. We find that in the system of C60@C240, the centres of the C60 and the C240 coincide and the drug moves closer to the capsule wall when the radius of the capsule increases. This research might be considered as a first step to investigate the encapsulation of drug molecule in a nanocapsule for the medical research.
