Ball milling and annealing method is an important method for synthesis of boron nitride nanotube. How to improve their productivity through this method is a problem that people have been studying all the time. In this paper, the influence of milling time on productivity of boron nitride nanotubes synthesized from B 2 O 3 through ball milling and annealing method was investigated. The result indicated that the optimal milling time for synthesis of BN nanotubes with high productivity is 80h. The reason for formation of these high productivity BN nanotubes can be ascribed to the high chemical reactivity and appropriate amount of catalyst in B 2 O 3 powder milled for 80h. The results of this study can provide guidance for the preparation of high yield BN nanotubes.
