Rice University Department of Chemistry: Exotic Nanotubes Move in Less Mysterious Ways

Rice scientists, engineers analyzed the motion of single boron nitride nanotubes and show boron nitride’s promise for use in composite materials and biomedical applications.

Global BNNT Research

A Combination of Boron Nitride Nanotubes and Cellulose Nanofibers for the Preparation of a Nanocomposite with High Thermal Conductivity Multi-univeristy research shows boron nitride nanotubes can be added to a nanoscopic form of wood fibers to produce a material that conducts heat away from electronics. The material does not conduct electricity, making it useful for removing heat from high performance electronics without shorting out the circuits.
Real-Time Visualization and Dynamics of Boron Nitride Nanotubes Undergoing Brownian Motion Rice University researchers produce images and movies of a single molecule of BNNT undergoing Brownian motion, the jitterbug-like action of a very small particle frequently encountered in the studies of microbes and other small objects. This fundamental work gives researches a glimpse into the behavior of isolated BNNTs, an important step in understanding their physics and potential applications.
Boron Nitride Nanotube-Based Contact Electrification-Assisted Piezoelectric Nanogenerator as a Kinematic Sensor for Detecting the Flexion–Extension Motion of a Robot Finger Kyung Hee University scientists film BNNTs at work as sensors on a robotic arm. Nano-sensors can greatly reduce the weight and complexity of the control and actuation systems in prosthetics and other bio-engineering devices.
