Influence of boron on carbon fiber microstructure, physical properties, and oxidation behavior

Predicting new superhard phases

“…Boron-doped diamond shows higher resistance to oxidation and ferrous metals than diamond and can be expanded to applications to electric devices [104,105]. Constructing from the supercell of diamond, sandwich-like BC 3 , BC 5 , and BC 7 structures were proposed and widely studied [35,[106][107][108][109][110][111].…”

Ultimate Metastable Solubility of Boron in Diamond: Synthesis of Superhard DiamondlikeBC5

“…The limiting concentration of boron that can be incorporated into diamond structure has not been established yet, although under extreme pressure-temperature conditions, this content could be significantly increased. Since all B-C materials show higher resistance to oxygen and ferrous metals than similar carbon materials [7], the diamondlike B-C phases with high boron content are expected to combine the best properties of the elements including advanced electrical and optical properties, very high hardness, and high thermal and chemical stability.…”
