BNNT SP10 Puffball

By BNNT (Boron Nitride Nanotubes)

BNNT SP10 Puffball is the as-grown boron nitride nanotube material produced from our state-of-the-art laser synthesis rigs. The nanomaterial is a cotton-like, low tap density network of mainly two and three walled nanotubes ranging from a few to 100's of microns in length. BNNT SP10's grey color is due to nanoparticles of residual boron which are a byproduct of the HTP (high temperature/pressure) synthesis method. BNNT SP10 is available in three isotope compositions and recommended for applications requiring the least post-synthesis processing.

BNNT Refined Puffball

Our Standard Product 10 (SP10) products contain highly-crystalline boron nitride nanotubes which are produced by the catalyst-free high temperature/high pressure (HTP) method, also known as the pressurized vapor/condenser (PVC) method. The refined products (designated by -R) contain <1 wt.% elemental boron. Our BNNT products are available as puffballs, mats, powders, pellets, dispersions, and more which are all customizable to suit your needs. BN content99% (refined materials). Residual Impurities Refined materials contain <1 wt.% elemental boron. Tap Density Low, ~0.25 mg/cm3. Defect density Extremely low (BNNTs flex and recover when bent). Band gap 5.7 eV (direct measurement by low energy EELS). Surface area up to 400 m2/g (by multipoint BET). Network many isolated tubes, bundles up to 5 tubes (by TEM). Number of walls 1 to 5 walls are typical, 2 or 3 walls are most common (by TEM). BNNT length up to 200 μm (by SEM), longer suspected.

Custom BNNT Mats

Pure BNNT mats tested at NASA show superior performance as thermal protection/heat shield materials. Custom made mats ranging from 15mm to 25cm diameters are now available. Pictured: NASA Ames Arc Jet Test Facility
