Boron nitride nanotubes and nanocellulose composites for aeronautical applications
In the last twenty years, many efforts have been made to study the incredible properties that boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) and nanosheets (BNNSs) have presented since their discovery, especially through their excellent performance in the aerospace industry. In parallel, bio-based materials such as nanocellulose have been considered a cheap and attractive material for developing nanocomposites together with BNNTs and BNNSs to reduce their overall cost. Thus, this research project aims to study the synthesis of BNNTs, BNNSs together with nanocellulose fibers (NFCs) formulations, varying the concentrations of each substrate, characterizing them through physicochemical analyses, and comparing their performance with any similar off-the-shelf products.
