Impermeability of boron nitride defect-sensitive monolayer with atomic-oxygen-healing ability

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a new type of anti-corrosion coating. However, a large number of studies have shown that defects can significantly reduce the barrier property of h-BN. So how to repair the defect of h-BN is a problem to be solved. In this study, we used the density functional theory of the first principle to calculate the barrier properties of perfect h-BN and the h-BN with various vacancies. The study showed that monolayer h-BN has impermeability to all gas molecules, and vacancies can greatly reduce the barrier ability of h-BN to oxygen molecules. Fortunately, atomic oxygen can block the vacancy site of h-BN by chemical adsorption, thereby reducing the impact of vacancies on h-BN. Compared to the situation before the vacancy repaired, the barrier ability of h-BN to oxygen molecules was greatly increased after being repaired. In addition, the electron cloud density at vacancies after the repair (with) atomic oxygen was also greatly increased. Therefore, atomic oxygen can repair vacancies of h-BN and enhance the barrier ability of the defective h-BN. The research in this paper is of some significance. It is helpful to repair h-BN and evaluate corrosion resistance of h-BN in oxygen-rich or atomic-oxygen-rich environment.     

Etching resistance and etching behavior of h-BN textured ceramics under Xe plasma condition

The h-BN ceramic with two-dimensional laminar structure is an important constituent material of Hall thruster channel, and the differences in its chemical bonding structures lead to anisotropy of BN grains in different orientations. In this paper, h-BN matrix textured ceramics are prepared by hot-press sintering. Xe plasma is used to etch the textured ceramics with different preparation processes and orientations. The effects of microstructure and h-BN grain orientation on plasma etching resistance of the materials are investigated. The results show that the intergranular phase has superior plasma etching resistance compared to the h-BN material. During the etching, the sample surface maintains dynamic equilibrium on the macroscopic scale, while preferential etching exists on the microscopic scale. The h-BN grains exhibit point etching, line etching and composite etching behavior during the etching process. The etching resistance of textured ceramics is related to the intrinsic plasma etching resistance of the matrix material, but less correlation to the preparation process, microstructure, and orientation of the BN grains of the matrix material, moreover, there is no anisotropic etching behavior.     

Tribological properties of solid lubricants (graphite, h-BN) for Cu-based P/M friction composites

Cu-based P/M friction composites containing graphite at weight fractions in the range of 0%, 2%, 5%, 8%, 10%, corresponding to the hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) at weight fractions in the range of 10%, 8%, 5%, 2%, 0%, were fabricated by a P/M hot press method, respectively. The effects of graphite and h-BN on tribological properties of Cu-based P/M friction composites were investigated on a block-on-ring tester. Worn surfaces, microstructures and wear debris of the composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Results indicate that lubrication effects of graphite are superior to those of h-BN. With the increase of graphite content wear rates were decreased significantly. Added graphite with low contents of h-BN can stabilize friction and wear properties of Cu-based P/M friction composites.     

Effects of silanization of C/C composites and grafting of h-BN fillers on the microstructure and interfacial properties of CVI-based C/C-BN composites

A low-density carbon/carbon (C/C) composite/silane coupling agent/hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) hybrid reinforcement was prepared by grafting polyethyleneimine (PEI)-encapsulated modified h-BN fillers onto a carbon fiber surface using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) as the connection to improve the distribution uniformity of h-BN fillers in quasi-three-dimensional reinforcements and the interfacial properties between the fibers/pyrocarbon (PyC) in the C/C-BN composites obtained after densification by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI). The microstructure and chemical components of the hybrid reinforcement were investigated. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) sample was prepared using a focused-ion beam (FIB) for the h-BN/PyC interfacial zone. The interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and impact toughness were analyzed to inspect the composites’ interfacial properties. The results show that APS and h-BN are uniformly grafted on the fiber surface in the chopped fiber web inside the C/C composite without a density gradient, and agglomeration occurred and significantly increasing the fiber surface roughness. The highly ordered h-BN basal plane may affect the order degree of PyC near the h-BN/PyC interface. The addition of h-BN reduces the PyC texture near it, causing the annular cracks to disappear gradually. The lower PyC texture and the rougher fiber surface strengthen the interfacial bond of the fiber/matrix. Consequently, the ILSS strength of the C/C-BN composites first increases and then decreases as the h-BN filler content increases and is always higher than that of the C/C composite, while the addition of h-BN fillers weakens its impact toughness. When the h-BN content in the C/C-BN composite is 10 vol%, the ILSS of the C/C-BN composites was 15.6% higher than that of the C/C composites. However, when the h-BN content is excessive (15 vol%), the densely grafted h-BN will bridge each other, reducing the subsequent CVI densification efficiency to form a loose interface, causing a decrease in the shear strength.

Investigation of the physical and mechanical properties of hot-pressed machinable Si3N4/h-BN composites and FGM

A new design method of machinable ceramic composites was proposed, which applies the graded-structure concept to the design of machinable Si₃N₄ ceramics. Silicon nitride/hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) ceramic composites and functionally graded materials were fabricated by hot pressing at 1750 °C for 2 h, varying the alignment of the amount of hexagonal BN using powder layering method. The improved machinability of Si₃N₄/h-BN composite can be attributed to addition of layered structure hexagonal BN. Hexagonal BN possesses excellent cleavage planes perpendicular to the c-axis. Ease of machining depends on degree of crystal interlocking; hence volume content of h-BN crystals and their aspect ratio affect machinability. The texture of h-BN and β-Si₃N₄ was observed during hot pressing sintering. Physical and mechanical properties of Si₃N₄/h-BN with different content of h-BN were investigated, such as bulk density, Vickers's hardness, flexural strength, and elastic modulus. All of these properties are important for the design of the machinable Si₃N₄/h-BN FGM (Functionally Graded Materials).     

High thermal conductivity of suspended few-layer hexagonal boron nitride sheets

The thermal conduction of suspended few-layer hexagonal boron nitride （h-BN） sheets was experimentally investigated using a noncontact micro-Raman spectroscopy method. The first-order temperature coefficients for monolayer （1L）, bilayer （2L） and nine-layer （9L） h-BN sheets were measured to be -（3.41 ± 0.12）× 10-2, -（3.15 ± 0.14） × 10-2 and -（3.78 ±0.16）× 10-2 cm-1.K-1, respectively. The room-temperature thermal conductivity of few-layer h-BN sheets was found to be in the range from 227 to 280 W.m-1-K-1, which is comparable to that of bulk h-BN, indicating their potential use as important components to solve heat dissipation problems in thermal management configurations.
