dc.description.abstractBoron nitride nanomaterials possess an unparalleled combination of properties: their mechanic properties are superior to that of steel, their thermal conductivity is comparable to that of copper, their band gap is that of an insulating material, and their chemical and thermal stability is remarkable. Researchers anticipate that this unique set of properties will have applications in a wide array of fields. However, boron nitride nanomaterials are not perfect. It is their poor dispersibility in solvents and their chemical inertness that have frustrated their comprehensive utilization. The ability to chemically modify these nanostructures could open the door to tune their properties and expand their compatibility with solvents. Therefore, this thesis investigates an unexplored chemical tool for boron nitride nanomaterials: the Billups-Birch reduction.en_US
