Boron Carbide Nanoparticles: History, Properties, Applications, Production, Storage

Boron carbide (B4C) is often named as “Black diamond”. It is a black crystalline solid almost as hard as diamond. The compound contains 1 Carbon atom and 4 Boron atoms. It is grayish black in color and usually a very hard ceramic material. It is to be noted that Carbon and Boron are placed adjacent to each other in the periodic table, having atomic numbers like 6 and 5, respectively. The  boron carbide nanoparticles  are of approximately 40 nm in diameter . It is used across a number of industries due to its hardness, unique interaction with neutrons, and basic properties. Boron carbide nanoparticles have experienced extensive research from engineers and researchers. The  mechanical properties of  Boron Carbide make it useful in various applications.  This article is focused on Boron Carbide Nanoparticles, its history, properties, manufacturing and applications in different sectors . History of Boron Carbide Nanoparticles B4C was discovered in the 19 th...
