Boron nitride nanotubes for tunable conductivity

纳米管研究属于国家先进材料和突破性科学研究重点领域。这个澳大利亚国立大学的研究小组在氮化硼（BN）纳米管的研究方面处于国际领先地位。拟议的合作研究将加强这一地位，并进一步改善国家在纳米技术方面的研究概况。如果项目成功，将产生新的知识产权，这将有利于澳大利亚国立大学BN纳米管的商业化活动。新的博士和本科生将通过拟议的前沿研究项目进行培训。

The proposed research in nanotubes falls into the national research priority areas of advanced materials and breakthrough science. This ANU research group has a leading role in Boron Nitride (BN) nanotube research internationally. The proposed collaborative research will enhance this position and further improve the nation's research profile in nanotechnology. New intellectual properties will be generated if the project is successful, which will benefit the commercialization activity of BN nanotubes at ANU. New PhD and undergraduate students will be trained by the proposed cutting edge research project.
