Nanodiamond applications:
Initially, nanodiamonds were applied in the defense industry in Russia, but now they reached into a variety of fields, such as fine polishing, lubricating, coatings and polymers. Currently, nanodiamonds are entering in thermal management, photovoltaics, catalysis, analytical chemistry, energy storage, neutron technologies and bio-medicine.
