Dispersión, funcionalización química y ensamblaje de los nanotubos de nitruro de boro

One-dimensional nanomaterials, such as nanotubes, provide exceptional opportunities for modern chemical applications, including sensing, catalysis, contaminant removal, and the development of functional materials. In particular, boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) exhibit outstanding properties, including high tensile strength, thermal and chemical stability, and a large bandgap. This review highlights the work of our collaborative team on the non-covalent and covalent functionalization of BNNTs, their individualization and dispersion in various solvents, and their organization in both solution and macroscopic materials.
