Abstract

Environmental issue have become very important year by year and several summit have been held on this subject globally.  As a result, research efforts have been focused on environmentally friendly materials, reducing energy usage and emissions. Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) shows superior lubrication and has no sticking properties because of the structure of strong bonds between atoms in layers with the weak Van Der Walls bonds between layers. Also, hBN is an inorganic artificial material with high heat shock resistance, heat conduction, electrical insulation, chemical stability properties. These properties enable it to be used at various applications. In this study, friction and wear behaviors of products containing hBN were reviewed, in order to see effects on sustainable environment.

Keywords
