✦ Synopsis
News and opinions 81 applications. Even this first step has led to the discovery that arrays of the nanotubes, which are typically 60 nm in diameter and 10 m in length, display superhydrophobicity--a property that could find use a as transparent, self-cleaning anti-corrosive layer.
The nanotubes can also be removed from the substrate by scratching or extracted into suspension, and show a 6 eV bandgap, confirming their perfect insulating nature. But Yoke Khin Yap believes the next stage of development could be even more exciting.
''Doping of BNNTs will now come in,'' he told Nano Today, ''enabling the production of functional BNNTs for electronic devices.''
