Resumen: Boron nitride nanotubes (BN-NT) are topological analoges to single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT). We analysed and refined the filling process for SWCNTs and applied it to the BN-NTs. BN-NTs were first annealed in air to open the ends and to remove BN particles. A filling procedure with C60 fullerene via vapour phase was applied. Subsequently high temperature treatment was performed to transform the fullerenes. Some spectral features in the Raman spectra of the reaction products in the low frequency range may be assigned to small diameter carbon nanotubes inside the BN-NTs.
