    Abstract

    Chemical approaches for the functionalization of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are discussed, including covalent functionalization, noncovalent functionalization, defect reaction, and inner filling BNNTs, in regards of the multiple utility of these approaches for improving the availability of BNNTs as innovative biomaterials, by integrating new functions and properties toward several applications in nanobiomedicine.
