Center Innovation Fund: LaRC CIF
Multi-Functional All BN-BN Composites, Year 2
Project Description
Development of multifunctional Boron Nitride nanotube-Boron Nitride (BN-BN) composites to provide novel energy transducers, thermal conductors, anti-penetrator/wear resistance coatings, and radiation hardened materials for use in extreme environments. As an analog to carbon fiber reinforced/carbon (C/C) composites, BN-BN composite provides much stronger mechanical integrity and thermal stability due to the wholly BN structure composed of Boron Nitride Nanotubes (BNNT) housed within a BN matrix.
