This chapter presents a brief survey of the different classes of nanodiamond particles and a comparison of their purity, structure, and physical properties. The primary focus of this chapter is on nanodiamond particles produced by detonation shock wave-assisted synthesis, thus harnessing the energy of explosives. Selected applications of nanodiamond particles are discussed, including for polishing, as a filler material for nanocomposites, in drug delivery, and for chemical vapor deposition of diamond films.
