Electrostatic Self-Assembly of Nanodiamonds

چکیده
Not all the crude agglutinates are crushable into primary particles by beads-milling. The most reliable criterion for the crushability of crude detonation product is zeta-potential in aqueous suspension, which must be higher than +50mV or lower than -50mV as determined on a Zetasizer Nano-ZS (Malvern Instruments, England). We use fluffy, grey-coloured fine powder made by Guangzhou Panyu Guangda Electromechanical Company (Guangzhou, China).

Confirmation of the electrostatic self-assembly of nanodiamonds.
A reliable explanation for the underlying mechanism responsible for the persistent aggregation and self-assembly of colloidal 5 nm diamond nanoparticles is critical to the development of nanodiamond-based technologies. Although a number of mechanisms have been proposed, validation has been hindered by the inherent difficulty associated with the identification and characterisation of the inter-p...
متن کاملSurface transfer doping can mediate both colloidal stability and self-assembly of nanodiamonds.
Although undoped diamond is insulating, hydrogenated bulk diamond surfaces exhibit surface conductivity under air and are electrochemically active in aqueous solutions. Due to their large surface/volume ratio, similar surface effects may exhibit a dramatic impact on the properties of nanodiamonds. Here we show that plasma-hydrogenated detonation nanodiamonds (NDs-H) display a positive zeta pote...
متن کاملElectrostatic Self-Assembly of Diamond Nanoparticles onto Al- and N-Polar Sputtered Aluminum Nitride Surfaces
Electrostatic self-assembly of diamond nanoparticles (DNPs) onto substrate surfaces (so-called nanodiamond seeding) is a notable technique, enabling chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of nanocrystalline diamond thin films on non-diamond substrates. In this study, we examine this technique onto differently polarized (either Al- or N-polar) c-axis oriented sputtered aluminum nitride (AlN) film surfa...
متن کاملLarge-scale self-assembly of dispersed nanodiamonds
Well-aligned rectangular-shaped nanodiamond fibers (NDFs) with a length-to-width ratio of over 1000 were formed on a large-scale via a self-assembly process by drying acid-treated nanodiamonds of a uniform size ( 4 nm) from an aqueous solution. Nanodiamond thin films (NDTFs), instead of NDFs, have also been prepared by drying the aqueous ND dispersion at a sufficiently low temperature (< 70 C))...
متن کاملThe functionalization of nanodiamonds (diamondoids) as a key parameter of their easily controlled self-assembly in micro- and nanocrystals from the vapor phase.
We detail herein readily accessible processes to control previously unobserved robust self-assemblies of nanodiamonds (diamondoids) in micro- and nanocrystals from their mild vapor deposition. The chemical functionalization of uniform and discernible nanodiamonds was found to be a key parameter, and depending on the type of functional group (hydroxy, fluorine, etc.) and its position on the diam...
