Nanodiamonds
Today innovation technologies tend to shift from micro- to nanosizes, that is why industry needs diamonds of appropriate size. First nanodiamonds were synthesized in the Soviet Union, and commercial production of these carbon treasures was launched in late eighties of the twentieth century. As a starting material chemists chose carbon of explosive substances., A high pressure and temperature, necessary for forming diamond structure from atoms of carbon, were generated during an explosion. The shorter an explosion was, the smaller diamond crystals appeared; sometimes they were as small as one billionth part of meter. Scientists have found out that detonaion nanodiamonds showed some unusual properties. Latest research revealed that nanodiamonds could be a great basis for nanocompositional materials, coatings with unique mechanical properties, elements for nanoelectronics, selective sorbing agents and catalysts and objects for medical and biological applications. Nanodiamonds significantly improve quality of microabrasive and polishing materials, lubricating oils, various rubbers, magnetic recording systems and allow growing diamond films on various carrier materials.
