Abstract
The disclosed subject matter relates to methods for the dispersion processing of high aspect ratio nanomaterials, such as boron nitride nanotubes, into macrostructures. For example, the disclosed subject matter relates to boron nitride nanotube fibers and films, and methods of making and use thereof. In some examples, the methods are surfactant-free and/or sonication-free.
Claims20
A method of making a dispersion comprising a high aspect ratio nanomaterial, the method comprising:
- dispersing the high aspect ratio nanomaterial in a first solvent, thereby forming a preliminary dispersion;
- and
- adding a second solvent to the preliminary dispersion to thereby form the high aspect ratio nanomaterial dispersion, wherein the second solvent has a higher viscosity than the first solvent and is miscible with the first solvent;
- wherein the first solvent and the second solvent are each independently a low-impact solvent.
