"Boron nitride" refers to a compound made up of boron and nitrogen atoms. It is often used as an insulator and has properties similar to graphite and diamond. Full definition
Patterns of orbiting light predicted for spheroids of hexagonal boron nitride illuminated with a dipole source just above their north poles. (sciencedaily.com)
Depending on the percentage of boron nitride nanosheets added to the polymer, this self - healing may require additional heat or pressure, but some forms of the new material can self - heal at room temperature when placed next to each other. (sciencedaily.com)
«Prior to this work we had developed a composite of boron nitride nanosheets and dielectric polymers, but realized there were significant problems with scaling that material up economically.» (sciencedaily.com)
