Plasma Assisted Synthesis and Functionalization of Boron Nitride Nanotubes
Abstract
Plasma Assisted Synthesis and Functionalization of Boron Nitride NanotubesBoron Nitride Nano Tubes, BNNT, have many technologically important properties that give them great potential for applications useful to the Naval warfighter. These include such things as lightweight personal armor, impact resistant faceplates and viewports, cosmic ray shielding for high altitude aircraft and spacecraft, advanced chemical sensors, and high temperature optoelectronic and magneto-electronic devices. However, the inability to synthesize it a ratehigher than a few tens of grams per hour has left a dearth of information about how BNNT performs in real-world applications.
