description Abstract Nanostructures, nowadays, found growing applications in different scientific and industrial areas. Nano-coins, nanosheets, and nanotubes are used in medical applications as sensors or drug delivery substances. The aim of this study is to explore the adsorption of 1-Adamantylamine drug on the pristine armchair boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) with BNNT(5,5), BNNT(6,6), and BNNT(7,7) chirality along with the P, As, Al and Ga-doped BNNTs, using the quantum mechanical density functional methods. Considering the fact that dispersion effects are important in the case of weak Van der Waals interactions, computations have been done using B3LYP hybrid functional with the implementation of the D3(BJ) empirical dispersion correction methods. Quantum theory of atoms in molecules, natural bonding orbitals, and Kohn–Sham orbitals were used to investigate the nature and type of the adsorption process. The results showed that, while the adsorption of 1-Adamantylamine on the outer surface of pristine BNNT is physical in nature, doping can improve the ability of detracted BN to adsorb the drug through chemical bonds. Also, it was found that, by increasing the radius of the BNNT the adsorption energy was decreased. In conclusion, results of the present work suggest that, Ga doped nanotube, due the chemisorption, is not an ideal nanotube in drug delivery of 1-Adamantylamine drug, whereas, the other studied cases physiosorbed the drug, and may not have serious problem in release of the 1-Adamantylamine drug.
