Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) have a similar tubular structure
Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) have a similar tubular structure as carbon nanotubes in which carbon atoms are replaced entirely by boron and nitrogen atoms, arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Not surprisingly, because of this similarity, both BNNTs and CNT share some identical intrinsic characteristics, such as excellent mechanical properties, high thermal conductivity. Their Young's modulus was experimentally measured at a TPa level. Although having smaller Young's modulus and yield strength tha
