Abstract
The possibility of preparing ultrafine boron nitride powders by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) is examined. The results demonstrate that, by varying SHS conditions (starting-mixture composition, combustion rate, cooling rate, and intermediate grinding time), one can control the morphology and particle size of the resultant hexagonal BN powder. Systematic data are presented on the chemical dispersion of SHS products for separating nanometer-sized particles. The effect of chemical dispersion (composition of the dispersion medium, process temperature, and dispersion time) on the particle size, morphology, and chemical and phase compositions of boron nitride powders is analyzed. Hexagonal boron nitride powders are obtained with a purity of 99.5+%, particle size of 0.1–0.2 μm, and specific surface of up to 65 m2 /g.
