Nanomaterials have received increasing attention due to their controllable physical and chemical properties and their improved performance over their bulk structures during the last years. Carbon nanostructures are one of the most widely searched materials for use in different applications ranging from electronic to biomedical because of their exceptional physical and chemical properties. However, BN nanostructures surpassed the attention of the carbon-based nanostructure because of their enhanced thermal and chemical stabilities in addition to structural similarity with the carbon nanomaterials. Among these nanostructures, one dimensional-BN nanostructures are on the verge of development as new materials to fulfill some necessities for different application areas based on their excellent and unique properties including their tunable surface and bandgap, electronic, optical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical stability. Synthesis of high-quality boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) in large quantities with novel techniques provided greater access, and increased their potential use in nanocomposites, biomedical fields, and nanodevices as well as hydrogen uptake applications. In this review, properties and applications of one-dimensional BN (1D) nanotubes, nanofibers, and nanorods in hydrogen uptake, biomedical field, and nanodevices are discussed in depth. Additionally, research on native and modified forms of BNNTs and also their composites with different materials to further improve electronic, optical, structural, mechanical, chemical, and biological properties are also reviewed. BNNTs find many applications in different areas, however, they still need to be further studied for improving the synthesis methods and finding new possible future applications.

Comparison Of Formulae For Shear Strength Of Unsaturated Soils Zehtab, Kaveh Hassan; Toker, Nabi Kartal; Ahmadiadli, Mohammad (2012-06-30) During last 60 years many research studies have been conducted on calculation of shear strength of unsaturated soils and effects of matric suction on it. Several formulae are developed for predicting shear strength of unsaturated soils, based on strength tests on unsaturated soils. A variety of experimental techniques and laboratory equipment are used for unsaturated shear strength characterization. This study discusses the accuracy of shear strength prediction for unsaturated soils with three different for...
Theoretical investigation of the nanotribological properties of the hexagonal boron nitride and gold interfaces Özcan, Gize; Toffoli, Hande; Department of Physics (2020) Frictional properties of two-dimensional structures on the nanoscale have gained importance, especially in the last decades, and a considerable amount of research is carried on to understand the interaction between their interfaces with well known lubricants. In industrial developments, these materials’ interfacial properties on metals have great importance. Therefore, in this thesis, we theoretically investigated the hexagonal BN and Au(111) interface with using molecular dynamics simulation. Calculation r...
Thermal stability of benzorods: Molecular-dynamics simulations Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış (Elsevier BV, 2005-12-01) Thermal stability of benzorods 2C6-20C6, which are obtained by stacking n (n=2-20) dehydrogenated benzene, have been investigated by molecular-dynamics simulations. It has been found that these structures assume a geometrical form depending on the number of dehydrogenated benzene layers, and they are stable under heat treatment up to elevated temperatures with a dependence on length.
Water soluble polymer stabilized iron(0) nanoclusters: a cost effective and magnetically recoverable catalyst in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane Dinç, Melek; Özkar, Saim; Department of Chemistry (2011) The property transition metal nanoclusters are more active catalysts than their bulk counterparts because of increasing proportion of surface atoms with decreasing paricle size. The development of efficient and economical catalysts to further improve the kinetic properties under moderate conditions is therefore important for the practical application of nanoclusters as catalyst in the hydrogen generation from hydrolysis of ammonia borane this. In this regard, the development of active iron catalysts is a de...
Stability of gold clusters: molecular-dynamics simulations Erkoç, Şakir (2000-09-01) Structural stability and energetics of gold clusters, Au, (n = 3-555), have been investigated by molecular-dynamics simulations. An empirical model potential energy function has been used in the simulations. Stable structures of the microclusters for n = 3-13 have been determined by molecular-dynamics simulation. It has been found that gold microclusters prefer to form three-dimensional compact structures. Molecular-dynamics simulations have also been performed for spherical gold clusters generated from FCC...
