=== Mechanical properties ===
BN nanosheets consist of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). They are stable up to 800°C in air. The structure of monolayer BN is similar to that of [[graphene]], which has exceptional strength.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |lastlast1=Falin |firstfirst1=Aleksey |last2=Cai |first2=Qiran |last3=Santos |first3=Elton J.

h-BN has been used since the mid-2000s as a bullet and bore lubricant in precision target rifle applications as an alternative to [[molybdenum disulfide]] coating, commonly referred to as "moly". It is claimed to increase effective barrel life, increase intervals between bore cleaning and decrease the deviation in point of impact between clean bore first shots and subsequent shots.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2014/09/hexagonal-boron-nitride-hbn-how-well-does-it-work/ | title = Hexagonal Boron Nitride (HBN)—How Well Does It Work? | author = <!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> | date = 8 September 2014 | website = AccurateShooter.com | access-date = 28 December 2015}}</ref>
