Abstract:Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are emerging nanomaterials
with
impressive mechanical properties and unique multifunctional properties
including high thermal stability, electrical insulation, optical transparency,
neutron absorption capability, and piezoelectricity. To harness the
true potential of BNNTs for applications from drug delivery to advanced
coatings and composites, functionalization is necessary to enhance
their solubility and processability. Current functionalization approaches
require aggressive r… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
