Claim 0:
1. A method of forming a boron nitride nanotube (“BNNT”) configuration, the method comprising:
providing a scaffold support structure having at least one rigid support selected from the group consisting of a wire mesh material, a stainless steel mesh material, a woven stainless steel grid, and a glass fiber;
dispersing BNNTs in a dispersant;
applying the dispersed BNNTs onto the scaffold support structure to disperse the BNNTs within and supported by the scaffold support structure as a conformal coating;
removing the dispersant and leaving the BNNTs on the scaffold support structure to form a BNNT-conformally coated scaffold support structure having stable density and structural strength; and
inserting the BNNT-conformally coated scaffold support structure into one of a cryopump, a transition radiation detector, and a neutron detector.
