Advanced oxidation process for detonation nanodiamond surface chemical modification

Abstract

An advanced oxidation process has been implemented for detonation nanodiamond surface chemical modification. The treatment intended for chemical oxidation of detonation nanodiamond surface through reactions with ozone in aqueous media. A number of detonation nanodiamond samples were processed: purified industrial grade and single particle hydrosols of air oxidized and hydrogen annealed detonation nanodiamonds. Comparative analysis of surface chemical composition provided by XPS and FTIR data.
