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
http://www.rsphysse.anu.edu.au/nanotube/

Specifications

Chemical Compositions
> 97 wt% of BN
~1.5 wt% of metal catalysts (Fe and Cr derived from the milling process)
~1.5 wt% of absorbed O2

Morphologies and Structures

  • Multiwalled BN nanotubes with both cylindrical and bamboo-like structures
  • Multiwalled cylindrical BN nanotubes with the diameter less than 10 nm.
  • BN nanotube film coated on metal and SiO substrates.


Price List

Multiwalled BN nanotubes yield > 80% US$ 600/gram
Thin multiwalled BN nanotubes (diameter < 10 nm) yield > 70% US$ 800/gram
BN nanotube layers coated on SiO or steel substractes yield > 80% US$ 300/cm2
