Fabrication and characterization of B4C nanowires and dense B4C ceramic/nanowires composite

The superior properties of boron carbide (B4C), such as high melting point, extreme hardness (ranking third after diamond and cBN), low density, good thermal and chemical resistance properties, have made it a promising material for ceramic armor applications. However, the widespread use of boron car...
