High pressure-high temperature (HP-HT) nanodiamonds and detonation have unique optical properties are promising materials for various applications in photonics. In this work, the first time, comparative studies of nonlinear aqueous suspensions HP-HT under femtosecond laser excitation performed. Using z-scan technique, it was found that same pulse parameters exhibited limiting due to two-photon ...

Owing to its superior mechanical properties, nanodiamond (ND) holds great potential to improve tribological characteristics of composites. In this study, we report on the wear and dry friction of epoxy-ND composites prepared from as-received and aminated ND across the length scale range from macro to nano. Comparison of macroscale, microscale, and nanoscale frictional behavior shows that ND is ...

Advances in nanotechnology have seen the development of several microbiocidal nanoparticles displaying activity against biofilms. These applications benefit from one or more combinations of the nanoparticle properties. Nanoparticles may indeed concentrate drugs on their surface resulting in polyvalent effects and improved efficacy to fight against bacteria. Nanodiamonds (NDs) are among the most...
