Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive review on the current research status of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs), especially the multiwalled nanostructures. Experimental and theoretical aspects of the properties, synthesis, and characterization of BNNTs, as well as their potential mechanical, electronic, chemical, and biological applications are compiled here.

Keywords
