  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nanomaterials and Their Applications

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 84))

Abstract

The present chapter is devoted to the synthesis and applications of nanodiamond. Nanodiamond or nanocrystalline diamond is actually an allotrope of carbon which has nanosized carbon crystallites having well-known diamond structure. Although it is present in nature since long, the realization of its artificial production occurred in the 1960s by the Russian scientists. Due to the policy of secret research, it was in dark until 1980s, when the first formal report of its synthesis was published. Since then, it has been remained in the focus of scientists and researchers worldwide. Several techniques for the synthesis of nanodiamond have been developed. This chapter presents all the major techniques used for the synthesis of nanodiamond particles as well as thin films. Due to its excellent mechanical and optical properties, high surface area, non-toxicity and tenability of its surface structure, nanodiamond has been widely used in various applications. This chapter reviews some interesting applications of nanodiamond, especially, the recent ones.
