title: Nanoenergetic materials: boron nanoparticles from the pyrolysis of decaborane and their functionalisation.
abstract: The surfaces of boron nanoparticles 10-150 nm in diameter, prepared by gas phase pyrolysis of decaborane vapour at 1 atm and 700-900 degrees C, can be halogenated by treatment with Br2 or XeF2; the surface halogenation somewhat increases the onset temperature for the oxidation of the particles under O2.
