Size and temperature effect of Young's modulus of boron nitride nanosheet.

Boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs), a new type of wide bandgap nanomaterial, has attracted great attention due to their excellent properties and potential applications. Thus, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the mechanical properties of BNNSs in various working conditions. This paper presents an analytical model based on molecular mechanics to study the size effect and temperature effect on the Young's modulus of BNNSs.
