| Abstract |
Hexagonal boron nitrides (hBNs) have recently been investigated for several novel applications due to their unique properties such as biocompatibility, superhydrophobicity, electrical insulation, and thermal and chemical stability. In addition, their biodegradation products have recently reported to have therapeutic effect on certain cancer types. hBNs are easily synthesized from boron and nitrogen precursors at moderately low temperatures. However, crystallinity and yield vary depending on the type of precursor, reaction temperature, and duration. In this study, a simple one-step hBNs synthesis method is reported without a catalyst, which might be an undesired contaminant for biomedical applications. The influence of boron precursors (boric acid, colemanite, or boron trioxide) on hBNs crystallinity, stability, and biodegradation in suspensions containing oxidative and hydrolytic degradation agents is investigated with the aim of their possible application in biomedicine. We found that the choice of boron precursor is a critically important parameter controlling the hBNs crystallinity and dependently influencing the biodegradation rate. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 June 2018.
All research outputs
#18,639,173
of 23,090,520 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
#3,457
of 6,776 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#253,011
of 328,076 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
#43
of 53 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,090,520 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,776 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,076 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 53 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
