hBN: What is Hexagonal Boron Nitride?
June 28, 2024 – Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is an exceptional material that benefits from the property of directional dependence, otherwise known as anisotropy. This defines the differential behavior of directional planes in a material. This leads to distinct property differences based on the orientation of its crystallographic planes. Wood is perhaps the best known anisotropic material on the macroscale, with tightly bound fibers that exhibit high in-grain strength. Yet these can be easily split apart when cutting along the grain.
