General description

Anhydride can be obtained by heating boric acid at temperatures higher than 160oC.1

Application

Reducing boron anhydride in the presence of sodium yields amorphous boron. Whereas reducing in the presence of aluminum at high temperatures affords crystalline boron. 1

Glassy carbon electrode modified with boron oxide nanoparticles supported on multiwall carbon nanotubes was obtained via a facile approach. The as-prepared modified electrode exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the redox of glucose in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution. The electrochemical

Quaternary Ag(2)O-CaO-Bi(2)O(3)-B(2)O(3) glasses and glassceramics are investigated with regard to release behaviour and local structure. The dissolution behaviour in water and physiological serum shows that the cations are released rapidly or gradually and points out a multi-step process, generally characterised
