Superior physical properties of High-Density BNNT Shielding Film

Caption

The developed high-density BNNT shielding film exhibits over three times higher density, more than twice the thermal conductivity, and 3.7 times greater radiation shielding performance compared to previously fabricated brittle BNNT sheet, while also maintaining excellent flexibility. As shown in the surface electron microscope (SEM) image at the lower right, BNNTs are densely and uniformly aligned along the coating direction.
