EFFECT OF THERMAL TREATMENT ON THE STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF NANODIAMONDS PRODUCED BY DETONATION SYNTHESIS

摘要

Diamond nanoparticles are now the most commonly synthesized nanomaterials. As they have some distinctive properties, such as high adsorptive capacity, high thermal conductivity, high surface energy, hydrophoby and a large specific surface, they are of great interest as materials with a wide application range. Nanodiamonds (NDs) can be used as adsorbents and catalysts for the production of nanocomposite materials, for growing diamond films, in medicine and biotechnology [1-3]. They can not now be widely used mainly because there are no well-defined standards and the quality of the NDs, offered by different producers, is unstable [4], Therefore, the study of NDs is important and promising.
