Thermal conductivity of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol nanofluids with boron nitride nano-barbs
This study investigates the potential of composite allotrope boron nitride nanobarbs (BNNBs) as nanoparticles for enhancing the thermal conductivity of nanofluids based on mixtures of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol with water. BNNBs are allotrope composites composed of boron nitride nanotube cores with walls decorated with attached hexagonal boron nitride crystals...
Sonochemical Functionalization of Boron Nitride Nanomaterials
Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) and hexagonal boron nitride platelets (h-BNs) have received considerable attention for aerospace insulation applications due to their exceptional chemical and thermal stability. Presently, making BN nanomaterials compatible with polymer and composite matrices is challenging…
Quantification of hexagonal boron nitride impurities in boron nitride nanotubes via FTIR spectroscopy
Preparation of high-quality boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) from commercially available stock is critical for eventual industry adoption and to perform comprehensive experimental studies of BNNTs. Separation of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and BNNTs is a significant challenge…
