In the current paper, we present the use of nanostructured boron suboxide (B6O) and in-situ synthesized hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) to form structured composites with commercially available boron carbide (B4C). Taking advantage of the rapid heating rate of Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS), structured...
