Abstract

Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are nano particles with unique properties, including high mechanical strength, high thermal conductivity, and neutron shielding capacity. These properties are beneficial for numerous applications, such as aerospace, electronics, and energy-efficient materials. This project focuses in the production of pristine BNNTs by filling the interior of BNNTs with magnetic nanoparticles and introducing a magnet, thus allowing the BNNTs with magnetic properties to adhere to the magnet while byproducts do not.
