Commercial Boron Nitride Nanotubes

Boron nitride (BN) nanotubes are produced in high yield and large quantities using a patented ball milling and annealing method at the Australian National University, Canberra, Australia. The method can produce BN nanotubes with different tubular structures (cylindrical, bamboo type) and different sizes. Information about the synthesis method and related scientific publications is available at
