Formation of metastable wurtzite phase boron nitride by emulsion detonation synthesis Academic Article

abstract

• AbstractEmulsion detonation synthesis (EDS) is a newly developed process to synthesize nanosized ceramic powders based on the detonation of 2 waterinoil emulsions. The process provides high pressure and temperature along with rapid quenching. In this work, we report the formation of wurtzite phase BN (wBN) for the first time by EDS process, using hexagonal BN (hBN) as the precursor. Characterization studies demonstrated the formation of wBN with sizes varying from nanometer to micrometer scale either embedded in or grown from hBN matrix. These findings provide a new avenue to synthesize metastable and superhard BN phases.
