Elevating performance, inspiring innovation

Neutron Shielding

BN nanomaterials (when boron-10 is used) have a high neutron absorption cross section, making them a potential candidate for use in neutron shielding applications.

Anti-corrosion

The combination of excellent impermeability, high chemical and thermal stability, and electrical insulation, makes BNNS (also known as white graphene) an excellent filler for corrosion protection.

Energy Storage

BN nanomaterials have been explored as a potential candidate for energy storage applications due to their unique properties and ability related to hydrogen.

Impermeability

BNNS (also known as white graphene) is impermeable to all molecules including moisture, hydrogen and helium gases.

Structural Materials

As ballistic materials, BN nanomaterials have high tensile strength and are potential candidates for use in composites, coatings, and other structural applications.

Thermal Management

BN nanomaterials have high thermal conductivity and are potential candidates for use in thermal management applications such as heat sinks, thermal interface materials, and coatings.
