Synthesis of boron nitride nanotubes by boron ink annealing

Nanotechnology, 2010
Ball-milling and annealing is one effective method for the mass production of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). We report that the method has been modified to a boron (B) ink annealing method. In this new process, the nanosize ball-milled B particles are mixed with metal nitrate in ethanol to form an ink-like solution, and then the ink is annealed in ...

Evaluation of Boron Nitride Nanotubes and Hexagonal Boron Nitrides As Nanocarriers for Cancer Drugs

Nanomedicine, 2017
Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) and hexagonal boron nitrides (hBNs) are novel nanostructures with high mechanical strengths, large surface areas and excellent biocompatibilities. Here, the potential use of BNNTs and hBNs as nanocarriers was comparatively investigated for use with cancer drugs.Doxorubicin (Dox) and folate are used as model drugs and ...
