WHAT DOES BORON NITRIDE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Boron nitride

Boron nitride is a chemical compound with chemical formula BN, consisting of equal numbers of boron and nitrogen atoms. BN is isoelectronic to a similarly structured carbon lattice and thus exists in various crystalline forms. The hexagonal form corresponding to graphite is the most stable and softest among BN polymorphs, and is therefore used as a lubricant and an additive to cosmetic products. The cubic variety analogous to diamond is called c-BN. Its hardness is inferior only to diamond, but its thermal and chemical stability is superior. The rare wurtzite BN modification is similar to lonsdaleite and may even be harder than the cubic form. Because of excellent thermal and chemical stability, boron nitride ceramics are traditionally used as parts of high-temperature equipment. Boron nitride has potential use in nanotechnology. Nanotubes of BN can be produced that have a structure similar to that of carbon nanotubes, i.e. graphene sheets rolled on themselves, but the properties are very different.

Definition of boron nitride in the English dictionary

The definition of boron nitride in the dictionary is a white inert crystalline solid existing both in a graphite-like form and in an extremely hard diamond-like form. It is used as a refractory, high temperature lubricant and insulator, and heat shield. Formula: BN.
