Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs)/alumina composites were fabricated by hot pressing. The mechanical properties of the composites are greatly dependent upon the content of BNNTs. In comparison with monolithic alumina, the incorporation of BNNTs results in the improvement of bending strength and fracture toughness owing to the effective inhibition of grain growth. A routine toughening mechanism, especially the bridging of BNNTs at grain boundaries and the sufficient physical bonding between BNNTs and alumina matrix, is dominantly responsible for the increase in mechanical properties.
