Preparation of boron nitride-based coatings on metallic substrates via infrared irradiation of dip-coated polyborazylene

BN-based coatings on metallic (titanium, aluminium and copper) substrates are prepared by infrared irradiation of a dip-coated polyborazylene. This innovative strategy creates an access towards the molecular design of hexagonal-boron nitride coatings as protective materials for low melting point metals.
