Colloidal stability is one of crucial factors for many applications of nanodiamond. Despite recent development, nanodiamonds available on the market often exhibit a high impurity content, wide size distribution of aggregates and low resistance to sedimentation. In the current study, four commercial nanodiamond powders synthesized by detonation synthesis were surface modified and then separated with respect to the size into six fractions by centrifugation. The fractions were evaluated by zeta potential, particle size distribution and elemental composition. The results showed that the modified nanodiamonds form stable colloidal suspensions without sedimentation for a long time.

The effect of the reaction temperature and reaction time on the thermal oxidative purification quality of detonation nanodiamond (NDsoot) was investigated in a gas-solid fluidized bed reactor of a $0.10m-ID{\times}1.0m$-high stainless steel column with zirconia beads ($d_{SV}=99.2{\mu}m$). The carbon conversion increased with increasing the reaction temperature; however, when the reaction temperature was greater than 773 K, the carbon conversion did not increase. The content of $sp^3$-hybridized carbon at the reaction temperature of 703 K barely changed when the reaction time was more than 30 minutes, but at 773 K, the content decreased as preferred. At 703 K, the purification quality increased with the increasing reaction time; however, at 773 K, the purification quality increased up to 30 minutes and then decreased rapidly.

In this study, nanodiamod's surface have formed carboxyl, hydroxyl, amine radical for the purpose of use of nanodiamond synthesized by detonation, and then it has widely stable dispersion and slowly sedimentation in solvent. Thus nanodiamonds obtained by chemical treatment were used to analyze the structure, surface statement, particle size and sedimentation specification in solvent for method X-ray diffration(XRD), scanning electron microscope energy diffraction spectroscopy(SEM-EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), automic force microscope(AFM).

Synthesized monocrystalline nanodiamond (nD) particles are heat-treated at various temperatures to produce highly structured diamond crystals. The heat-treated nDs show different weight loss ratios during thermogravimetric analysis. The crystallinities of the heat-treated nDs are analyzed using Raman spectroscopy. The average particle sizes of the heat-treated nDs are measured by a dynamic light scattering (DLS) system and direct imaging observation methods. Moreover, individual dispersion behaviors of the heat-treated nD particles are investigated based on ultrasonic dispersion methods. The average particle sizes of the dispersed nDs according to the two different measurement methods show very similar size distributions. Thus, it is possible to produce highly crystallized nD powder particles by a heat-treatment process, and the nD particles are relatively easy to disperse individually without any dispersant. The heat-treated nDs can lead to potential applications such as in nanocomposites, quantum dots, and biomedical materials.

폭발법에 의하여 얻어진 나노다이아몬드는 흑연상의 탄소를 일정 부분 갖으면서도 천연다이아몬드와 유사하게 높은 경도와 내마모 특성을 갖는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 흑연은 고온에 견디는 고체 윤활제로 사용되어 왔다. 따라서 나노다이아몬드를 오일과 물에 첨가하면서 용액의 점도 변화와 윤활 특성을 조사하였다. Fig. 2와 같이 3%(w/v)까지는 점도가 선형적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

Surface chemical modification via air and hydrogen heat treatment was found to relieve the aggregation of nanodiamond (ND) seed particles and lead to a significantly enhanced nucleation density for ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) film growth. After heat treatment in air and hydrogen, modification of surface functionalities and increase in the zeta potential were observed. Mean size of the ND aggregates was also dramatically reduced from ${\sim}2{\mu}m$ to ~55 nm. Si surface seeded with ND particles heat-treated at $600^{\circ}C$ in hydrogen produced a much higher nucleation density of ${\sim}2.7{\times}10^{11}cm^{-2}$ compared to untreated ND seeds.

Carbon-based nanofillers, including nanodiamond (ND) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), have been employed in epoxy matrixes for improving the toughness, using the tow prepreg method, of epoxy compounds for high pressure tanks. The reinforcing performance was compared with those of commercially available toughening fillers, including carboxyl-terminated butadiene acrylonitrile (CTBN) and block copolymers, such as poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-poly(butyl acrylate)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (BA-b-MMA). CTNB improved the mechanical performance at a relatively high filler loading of ~5 phr. Nanosized BA-b-MMA showed improved performance at a lower filler loading of ~2 phr. However, the mechanical properties deteriorated at a higher loading of ~5 phr because of the formation of larger aggregates. ND showed no significant improvement in mechanical properties because of aggregate formation. In contrast, surface-treated ND with epoxidized hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene considerably improved the mechanical properties, notably the impact strength, because of more uniform dispersion of particles in the epoxy matrix. CNTs noticeably improved the flexural strength and impact strength at a filler loading of 0.5 phr. However, the improvements were lost with further addition of fillers because of CNT aggregation.
