Influence of hydrogen bonds on the colloidal and fluorescent properties of detonation nanodiamonds in water, methanol and ethanol

摘要

This paper presents the results of research of influence of hydrogen bonds with different strength on fluorescence and colloidal properties of detonation nanodiamonds with surface carboxylic groups in the solvents. It is established that the colloidal properties of detonation nanodiamonds are almost independent on hydrogen bonds strength in water, methanol and ethanol. The fluorescent properties of detonation nanodiamonds are dependent on the type of solvent: the more intensive fluorescent properties correspond to weaker hydrogen bonds in solvents.
