Abstract
The Gibbs potential has been calculated as a function of temperature for a number of BN synthesis reactions. Detailed studies of BN chemical vapor deposition on SiC nanofibers were used to develop a technique for BN coating production from nontoxic precursors. The optimal synthesis temperature was 1300°C. Transmission electron microscopy characterization of the BN/SiC nanocables thus produced showed that the coatings were 10–20 nm thick and had a hexagonal structure.
