Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) have excellent mechanical, thermal properties as well as large bandgap and high oxidation resistance. Based on these properties, BNNTs are proposed to be candidate for diverse applications including reinforcement, field emitter, biological sensor and polyer wrapping....
