N2 - Current work reports the excellent antibacterial and antioxidant activities of the hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles (10BNNPs) synthesized with enriched-Boron (10B) in a horizontal dual-zone quartz tube furnace. The antibacterial activities of the as-synthesized 10BNNPs are tested by using the well-diffusion technique. According to the antibacterial results, it has been found that 10BN-NPs are highly responsive to K. pneumoniae and least responsive to P. aeruginosa bacterial strains. The antioxidant activity of 10BNNPs is analyzed by scavenging free radicals of 2,2–diphenyl–1–picrylhydrazyl hydrate (DPPH) with time interval and variation in concentration of 10BN-NPs. The activity of DPPH scavenging of 10BNNPs is observed by UV and visible light Spectrophotometer. The results show that the antioxidant potential of 10BNNPs is up to 79.5%. In addition, the 10B-contents with a semiconductor nature, the synthesized 10BNNPs offer a great potential to be used in Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for tumor cells destruction and as a sensing element in a solid-state neutron detector.
