What is Diamond Nanoparticles?
Diamond nanoparticles, or nanodiamonds (NDs), are single-crystal diamonds with carbon as the essential component with high physical and chemical properties. These are nanoscopic versions of sp3 carbon, while other carbon nanotubes and fullerenes are of sp2 configuration. Nanodiamonds containing nitrogen-vacancy defects have been used as an ultrasensitive label for vitro diagnostics, using a microwave field to modulate emission intensity. The structure of nanodiamonds consists of a diamond core and amorphous carbon layers. In more complex terms, each particle of nanodiamonds has sp3-bonded carbon atoms covered by sp2. Nanodiamond is the term used to describe small diamond particles that are measured in nanometers or billionths of a meter. Nanodiamonds are very small, and diamond is pure carbon in their most complex state.
How are diamond Nanothreads made?
Diamond nano threads are ultra-thin, one-dimensional carbon chains, tens of thousands of times thinner than a human hair. According to a Cardiff University press release, nanodiamonds are typically found inside rings of dust and gas, or protoplanetary disks, surrounding young stars. Two main lab-grown diamond production methods exist the high-pressure/high-temperature process (HPHT) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Both ways are commonly used, but CVD is becoming more popular for producing gem-quality synthetic diamonds for jewelry. Nanodiamonds (NDs) are synthesized by the high-energy treatment of graphite, most commonly via detonation, and are smaller than 10 nm. They have similar physical properties as bulk diamonds, such as fluorescence, photoluminescence, and biocompatibility. While you might expect diamonds—even tiny ones—to be expensive, nanodiamonds are readily available and cheap. That's because they are a natural byproduct of the mining industry. They also break up easily into remarkably uniform structures that look more like faceted soccer balls than a traditional diamond cut.
What are the advantages of nanodiamond?
Nanodiamonds also possess many desirable mechanical properties. Compared to other nanomaterials, their properties include superior hardness, better chemical stability, and thermal conductivity. Nanodiamonds can also resist harsh environments and have a lower friction coefficient. Two types of nanodiamonds produced on a commercial scale are available today in the market: detonation nanodiamonds (DND), having an average size of 4-5 nm, and nanodiamonds obtained by crashing of micro diamonds produced by high-pressure high temperature (HPHT) having an average length of more than 30 nm. Microdiamonds are diamonds with the most significant dimension smaller than 0.85 mm, too small for cutting into gemstones. Although these tiny diamonds are suitable only for industrial purposes, they can provide valuable information during exploration for new diamond deposits. Red diamonds are the rarest and some of the most expensive in the world. Also known as Fancy Reds, they come in shades ranging from orange to brownish. Most of the world's red diamonds come from the Argyle Diamond Mine in Australia.
