Boron nitride is a chemical compound made of boron and nitrogen atoms. It exists in several forms, including hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), which resembles graphite, and cubic boron nitride (c-BN), similar to diamond. Due to its unique properties, such as high thermal stability and electrical insulation, boron nitride is used in various applications, including electronics and materials science. In addition to its industrial uses, boron nitride is also employed as a lubricant and in cosmetics. Its ability to withstand high temperatures makes it valuable in manufacturing processes, while its non-toxic nature allows for safe use in personal care products.
