Hexagonalboron, also known as Hexagonalboron-nitride is a two-dimensional, multilayered, broadband gap insulation material. This material has excellent chemical and thermal stability. The material has exceptional dielectric qualities. This material is widely used in electronic devices. Hexagonalboron Nitride shares many structural similarities with graphene. These hexagonal hexagonal lattices have interconnected hexagonal elements. One thing is clear: graphene contains no carbon atoms. H-BN contains only three boron atoms per hex.


Graphene is stronger to carbon carbon than graphene due to the strength of its strongest carbon carbon bonds. Although both strengths and elastic modulus matches, hBN is slightly lower: graphene is stronger at 130GPa than HBN while young’s module hovers between 1.0TPa to 1.0TPa. HBN’s strength is 100GPa, and its modulus is around 0.8TPA.
Graphene’s excellent mechanical properties are what make it so popular. However, graphene is very susceptible to cracking. This makes graphene vulnerable.

Griffiths, a British engineer published a theory of fracture mechanics. Griffiths, a British engineer published a study on the failures caused by brittle material. It also described how crack sizes and their relationship to the growth methods. Engineers and scientists have been using this theory for years to predict strength.
Jun Lou of Rice University and his research team found graphene’s remarkable level of fracture toughness. Researchers discovered graphene fractures when it’s strain exceeds the strength that holds it together. Crack propagation can be achieved when crack energy difference are released.
The similarities of H-bn’s structure to graphene might make it vulnerable. But this is incorrect.

H-BN was 10x more ductile that graphene, according to scientists.
Prof. Jun Lou from Rice University and Professor Hua Yan Gao of Nanyang Technological University tested H-BN’s cracking resistivity, which was both brittle yet ductile. Griffith’s fracture theory has been disproved. Similar anomalies cannot be found in other materials. Nature published these results under “Intrinsic toughening, stable crack propagation and Hexagonal Boron Nightride”.

The secret to H-BN’s incredible toughness
The scanning electron microscopes were used to stress HBN samples. They discovered how cracks were formed by this technique. The mystery was solved after over 1,000 hours of experimental and theoretical analysis.



H-Bn graphene is structurally very similar to graphene. But, the structure and composition of boron is quite different to that of nitrogen. HBN, which is hexagonal-lattice compatible and graphene-compatible, has an inherent asymmetrical arrangement. Graphene cracks have the ability to break through the hexagonal structure and make a connection that looks a lot like a zipper. H-BN’s hexagonal structure is due to the stress differences that exist between boron and nitrogen. Cracks can become branches, or even bifurcate.
The crack will split if it is turning. You will need to provide additional energy in order to stop cracks spreading. H-Bn may be less elastic than graphene.

H-BN, a critical material in 2-bit and 2-dimensional electronic systems is vital. This material has outstanding chemical stability and heat resistance. H-BN acts as an excellent support material as well as an insulating coating on electronic components. hBN is a strong material that can be used in flexible electronics. This is why it’s an ideal material to 2D develop flexible materials for use in 2-dimensional electronic applications.
Flexible electronic textiles (h-19BN), will become possible in the near future. The application could determine whether h-BN is used to create implantable electronic gadgets which connect to the brain.
