Abstract:Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), the graphite-like polymorph, has been employed for more than 55 years as powders, ceramics, amorphous films, and deposited fine-grain polycrystalline pyrolytic forms (pBN) in applications that take advantage of its high thermal stability, chemical inertness, high thermal conductivity, low x-ray absorption, high electrical resistivity, and lubricating properties [1][2][3][4]. Recently, new applications have been envisioned for hBN that take advantage of its unique structural, opti… Show more
