Super Material Boron Nitride Nanotubes

Nano Technology introduces us with interesting super materials. Boron Nitride Nanotubes is such a revolutionary superior material.

Boron Nitride Nanotubes are similar to Carbon Nanotubes. But its wide band gap semiconducting properties makes it a better candidate for small circuit components.

Some potential usability areas of Boron Nitride Nanotubes (BNNT):

• Biomedical
• Lighweight ceramic composites
• Electrical insulation
• Fire retardant cabling
• Piezoelectric systems
• Polymer composites
• Radiation shielding
• Thin coatings
• Batteries
• New types of armors
• Aerospace components
• Dentistry
• Cancer treatments
• Nerve and bone tissue regeneration
• Robotics
• Sensors

I will continue to inform you about newly discovered super nano materials.
