The onion-like carbon (OLC) was synthesised by annealing the nanodiamond fabricated by detonation for 1 h at the temperature of 1150 C in the low vacuum of 2 Pa. The OLC particles were characterised using a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) for observing its microstructure, an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) for determining its crystal structure and component, and a Raman spectrometer for confirming its content. The results showed that the OLC particles exhibited similar shape to that of the original nanodiamond particles. The average size of the OLC was found to be approximately 5 nm. The transformation mechanism of the OLC from the nanodiamond by annealing at lower temperature and lower vacuum was also discussed.

“…ND has size typically about 2-8 nm in diameter and possess unique properties like hardness, chemical stability, crystallinity, low toxicity, non porosity, wide band gap particle size distribution and dupability can vary particle properties via the surface functionalization of ND [23][24][25]. Thus nanodiamonds have various applications in nano-engineered microelectronic devices, super hard coating, antifriction coatings and ceramic and polymer composites, imaging probes, wear resistant surface coatings and biomedical systems [26,27].…”

In this review, an overview of various types of nanofillers is presented with special emphasis on structure, synthesis and properties of carbon nanotube (CNT), nanodiamond (ND) and nanobifiller of CNT/ND, CNT/GO and CNT/graphene. In addition, polymer/CNT, polymer/ND and polymer/nanobifiller composites have been discussed.The efficacy of different fabrication techniques for nanocomposites (solution casting, insitu and melt blending method) and their properties were also discussed in detail. Finally, we have summarized the challenges and future prospects of polymer nanocomposites reinforced with carbon nanofillers hoping to facilitate progress in the emerging area of nanobifiller technology. INTRODUCTIONAmong the unique properties of polymer/nanomaterials, large surface to volume ratios and mechanical properties are noteworthy. These properties offer several exciting areas of research. The ultra high stiffness and hardness exhibited by nanomaterials make them important in reinforcing polymer matrices. According to recent research small additions of nanomaterials (~ 1 wt. %) may remarkably increase the mechanical properties (upto100%) although the precise mechanism responsible for the dramatic enhancement is not clearly understood [1,2]. It is generally believed that nanomaterials and polymer matrices develop molecular interactions which play a major role in enhancement. The key which hold true for the enhancement in mechanical properties is large surface area available for such interactions.In recent years variety of nanomaterials were synthesized and characterized, among them nanocarbons are of particular interest with different dimensionalities e.g. graphene, nanotubes and nanodiamond with dimensionalities two, one, and zero respectively [3,4].The mechanical properties of the polymer matrices reinforced with one type of nanocarbons have been extensively investigated [5]. Nature of interaction of nanocarbons constituents with polymer matrix depends on the dimensionality of filler constituent. For example the nanodiamond (ND) may interact with polymer at a point Downloaded by [New York University] at 14:08 04 August 2015 3 whereas carbon nanotubes (CNT) may interact over the length of polymer chain. However mechanical properties of polymer matrix have been known to improve by different type of nanocarbons. The synergistic effect in properties of final composite may be achieved by the incorporation of two types of nanocarbons, where each of them interacts differently with the matrix. CNT offers venues of exciting areas of research since Iijima initially identified CNT structure in 1991. CNT have unique thermal, electrical, mechanical and magnetic properties, high surface area, low density and high chemical stability. The diameter of the CNT usually ranges from 0.4-4 nm. The length of the nanotubes can vary from 100 nm to several micrometers depending on the preparation and purification methods used. Their uses are being extensively investigated for polymer composites, field emission displays, fabrication of reinforc...
