Solubilization of boron nitride nanotubes

Chemical Communications, 2005
A successful attempt in the functionalization and solubilization of boron nitride nanotubes is reported, and a functionalization mechanism based on interactions of amino functional groups with nanotube surface borons is proposed.

Junctions between a boron nitride nanotube and a boron nitride sheet

Nanotechnology, 2008
For future nanoelectromechanical signalling devices, it is vital to understand how to connect various nanostructures. Since boron nitride nanostructures are believed to be good electronic materials, in this paper we elucidate the classification of defect geometries for combining boron nitride structures.

Boron nitride nanotubes

Carbon, 1998
Abstract Pure boron nitride (BN) nanotubes have been synthesised by arc discharge between HfB2 electrodes in a nitrogen atmosphere. The high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) observations reveal that this route leads to the formation of highly crystalline tubes with reduced numbers of layers, including tubes with only one or two layers.

Stiffness and Thickness of Boron-Nitride Nanotubes

Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2008
We establish an analytic approach to determine the tensile and bending stiffness of a hexagonal boron-nitride (h-BN) monolayer and singleand multi-wall boron-nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) directly from the interatomic potential. Such an approach enables one to bypass atomistic simulations and to give the tensile and bending stiffness in terms of the ...

Immobilization of Proteins on Boron Nitride Nanotubes

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2005
We report for the first time that proteins are immobilized on boron nitride nanotubes. It is found that there is a natural affinity of a protein to BNNT; this means that it can be immobilized on BNNT directly, without usage of an additional coupling reagent. For the most effective immobilization, noncovalently functionalized BNNTs should be used.

Symmetry Breaking in Boron Nitride Nanotubes

Physical Review Letters, 2006
We have imaged boron nitride nanotubes with atomic scale resolution using scanning tunneling microscopy. While some nanotubes show the expected triangular lattice pattern, the majority of the nanotubes show unusual stripe patterns which break the underlying symmetry of the boron nitride lattice.

Apatite formability of boron nitride nanotubes

Nanotechnology, 2011
This study investigates the ability of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) to induce apatite formation in a simulated body fluid environment for a period of 7, 14 and 28 days. BNNTs, when soaked in the simulated body fluid, are found to induce hydroxyapatite (HA) precipitation on their surface. The precipitation process has an initial incubation period of ∼

Samarium doped boron nitride nanotubes

Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 2018
Boron nitride nanotubes doped in situ with samarium (Sm-doped BNNTs) were synthesized at 1150°C under atmosphere of NH3/N2 gas mixture by thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) using samarium oxide that is a product of the process separation of thorium and uranium tailings.

Continuum modeling of boron nitride nanotubes

Nanotechnology, 2008
Boron nitride nanotubes display unique properties and have many potential applications. A finite-deformation shell theory is developed for boron nitride nanotubes directly from the interatomic potential to account for the effect of bending and curvature.
