Abstract: A theoretical treatment of the insulator band gap $E_g$ of graphane nanoribbons, i.e., graphene monolayer nanoribbons with both sides completely saturated with hydrogen, is presented. It is shown that $E_g$ increases with decreasing nanoribbon width and is practically independent of the specific (zigzag or armchair) atomic structure of the nanoribbon edges.
