Abstract
Purpose. Characterization of the chemical structure of boron nitride nanoparticles by IR spectroscopy during the evaporation of their colloidal system and their sizes by small-angle X-ray scattering.
Methods. The solvent evaporation process from the colloidal system was studied using a Nicolet iS 50 FT-IR spectrometer in the mid-IR range (400 – 4000 cm-1), with an attenuated total reflectance accessory with a diamond crystal (incident angle of 45°) and a liquid cell (200 μL). The sizes of the colloidal particles were determined using an smallangle X-ray scattering diffractometer in linear collimation mode (resolution 0.03 nm-1, copper anode X-ray tube 2.2 kW, λ = 0.154 nm, exposure time 30 s).
Results. The IR spectrum of boron nitride nanoparticles powder was measured, containing lines characteristic of cubic (952 cm-1) ) – c-BN and hexagonal crystalline phases (758, 1301, and 1372 cm-1) – h-BN. The average size of boron nitride nanoparticles in the colloidal system, according to small-angle X-ray scattering data, was 46 and 84 nm. The size of stearic acid, which acts as a stabilizing shell, was 0.8, 1.3, and 2.5 nm. Analysis of the IR spectra showed complete evaporation of the solvents (hexane and chloroform) from a drop of colloidal solution 1.2 mm thick within 30 minutes.
Conclusion. In this work, the average sizes of boron nitride nanoparticles stabilized with stearic acid in a colloidal system were determined and the process of its evaporation was studied.
