Nanodiamonds: Advanced Material Analysis, Properties and Applications illustrates the complementarity of specific techniques to fully characterize nanodiamonds from their diamond core (crystalline structure, defects, sp2 carbon, impurities, strain) to their surface (surface chemistry, stability of surface groups, reactivity, surface charge, colloidal properties). The relationship between physical and chemical parameters sits at the heart of what this book is about. Recent advances in the synthesis of nanodiamonds either by HPHT or detonation are covered, along with extended characterization of the core and surface of nanodiamonds, focusing on the most advanced experimental tools developed for nanoscale diagnosis. Each technique presented includes presentation of both principles and applications. This combination of advanced characterizations offers readers a better understanding of the relationship that exists between physical and chemical parameters of nanodiamonds and their properties. In particular, the role of structural defects or chemical impurities is illustrated. Toxicity of nanodiamonds for cells is also discussed, as It is an essential issue for their bioapplications. Final sections in the book cover the main promising new advances and applications of nanodiamonds, the formation of hybrids, and their use in polymer and oil composites. - Provides a focused analysis of the relationship between the physical, chemical parameters, and properties of nanodiamonds - Allows the reader to better understand the material characterization of nanodiamonds and how they can be most successfully used - Presents R&D scientists and engineers with the information they need to understand how nanodiamonds can be used to create more efficient products - Includes novel applications, for example, the formation of hybrids based on nanodiamonds, that are covered in detail

Detonation Nanodiamonds

The Bibliography Index 'Nanodiamonds and Related Materials' was prepared for the First International Symposium on 'Detonation Nanodiamonds: Technology, Properties and Applications'. It seemed important to us to introduce the Symposium participants to most of the recent publications, since the studies in the area of nanotechnologies - nanoelectronics, nanobioengineering and nanomaterials - are gaining greater importance in the modern world. A key position among nanomaterials belongs to nanocarbon clusters, such as fullerenes, nanotubes and carbon onions discovered at the end of the 20th century. Most of the papers included in the Bibliography are on detonation nanodiamonds. Two papers published in the Russian journal 'Reports of the Academy of Sciences' and in 'Nature' in 1988 are the most widely cited ones, so they are chosen as a zero point for the selection of publications. But we also included a short list of papers published before that date for the sake of historical reference. The publications on each topic are presented in a chronological sequence and in the alphabetic order within each year. The Index is concluded with a list of organizations and research groups involved in nanodiamond technologies, which may promote international cooperation within this community.

The main aim of this collection of peer-reviewed papers is to promote the topics of precision manufacturing and machining practice, together with manufacturing research and education. Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). The 44 papers are divided into chapters covering: machining, grinding processes, cutting-tool technology, coatings, rotor design and vibratory mass finishing, cutting, precision surfaces, simulation and drilling. It offers a succinct guide to these fields.

This book presents the latest research from around the world on diamond materials as well as related materials. These include cubic boron nitride and materials with characteristics and properties approaching or possibly exceeding those of diamond.
