Nanodiamonds: Advanced Material Analysis, Properties and Applications

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 usedPresents R&D scientists and engineers with the information they need to understand how nanodiamonds can be used to create more efficient productsIncludes novel applications, for example, the formation of hybrids based on nanodiamonds, that are covered in detail INDICE: Chapter 1: General properties of diamond Christopher Nebel Chapter 2: Production and purification of nanodiamonds Olga Shenderova Chapter 3: Structure, shape, defects and impurities in nanodiamonds investigated by HRTEM and EELS/STEM Stuart Turner Chapter 4: Raman investigations on nanodiamonds Michel Mermoux Chapter 5: Elemental analysis of nanodiamonds by ICP Pavel Nesterenko Chapter 6: Paramagnetic defects in nanodiamonds Alexander Panich and Alexander Shames Chapter 7: Photoluminescence and color centers in nanodiamonds François Treussart and Igor Vlasov Chapter 8: Current issues and challenges in surface chemistry of nanodiamonds Anke Krueger Chapter 9:  Modifications of surface chemistry Hugues Girard Chapter 10: HREELS investigations of surface chemistry of nanodiamonds Alon Hoffman Chapter 11: Surface potential of nanodiamonds investigated by KFM Bohuslav Rezek Chapter 12: Interactions with solvent Tristan Petit Chapter 13: Toxicity issues: interactions with biological species Sylvie Chevillard Chapter 14: Fabrication of hybrids Petr Cigler Chapter 15: Nanodiamonds in composites: polymer chemistry and lubricants Ioannis Neitzel Chapter 16: Nanodiamonds in composites: polymer chemistry and lubricants Valery Dolmatov Chapter 17: Drug delivery and biomarkers applications Huan Cheng Chang Chapter 18: Applications of defects quantum physical research and sensing Elke Neu Chapter 19: Nanodiamonds for metal-free catalysis Dang Sheng Su
