“…101 Moreover, onion-like carbon was shown to increase the loss-tangent of polydimethylsiloxane and polyurethane. 102 Finally, it is worth flagging a number of applications that cannot be classified in the categories presented above. Chen et al successfully used CNS, prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, as hard templates for ZnAl 2 O 4 : Eu 3+ hollow nanophosphors, describing a simple and novel synthetic strategy.…”

Carbon nanospheres: synthesis, physicochemical properties and applications

The discovery of carbon nanostructures, essentially carbon nanotubes (CNT) and carbon nanofibres (CNF) has led to a big effort devoted to their synthesis, characterization, surface modification and use. Indeed, these structures have encountered application in a wide range of technological fields, such as adsorption, catalysis, hydrogen storage or electronics. Apart from the filamentous arrange of graphene sheets conducting to CNT or CNF, carbon can bond in other different ways to create structures with dissimilar properties. The pairing of pentagonal and heptagonal carbon rings can result in the formation of carbon nanospheres (CNS). This novel nanostructure has only now started to attract significant research activity. In its spherical arrangement, the graphite sheets are not closed shells but rather waving flakes that follow the curvature of the sphere, creating many open edges at the surface. Contrary to the chemically inert C 60 , the unclosed graphitic flakes provide reactive ''dangling bonds'' that are proposed to enhance surface reactions, establishing CNS as good candidates for catalytic and adsorption applications. Despite the embryonic stage of the field and the existing data being too scattered, this work is aimed to provide a comprehensive review of the existing literature related to CNS, exploring the different preparation routes employed, the critical characterization results as well as the applications studied so far.

“…The PDMS-DND nanocomposite was prepared as reported previously. 16,17 When forming PDMS-nanodiamond composites, an intermediate solvent was employed that served as a dispersion medium for the nanoparticles prior to mixing with the polymer matrix. The nanoparticles were dispersed in the solvent and sonicated to break up large agglomerates, then the suspension was combined with uncured PDMS and the solvent subsequently removed by vacuum.…”

“…The aim is to explore if DND modifies the dynamics of the changes in the PDMS matrix in which it is embedded following irradiation and comparing the vibrational and optical properties of pristine PDMS and PDMS-DND nanocomposite material. It is known that the addition of DND enhances the thermal stability of certain polymers 17 but it is unknown if the enhanced stability can be extended to other environments where the polymer is degraded. For example, the interaction of ionizing radiation with polymers leads to a wide variety of modifications and induced property changes.…”

In the present study, pure poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) polymer and PDMS-detonation nanodiamond (PDMS-DND) composite with 1wt.% of DND were irradiated under vacuum at room temperature with a 2MeV proton beam with fluences in the 1013–1015cm−2 range. Modification of the structures and properties of the pure polymer and the nanocomposite material were monitored as a function of proton fluence. Specifically, the vibrational dynamics of pure PDMS and PDMS-DND nanocomposites, both unirradiated and irradiated samples, were investigated using Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The Raman and FTIR spectra of the PDMS and PDMS-DND composites exhibit an overall reduction in intensity of all vibrational bands of the irradiated samples. The changes in relative intensities of the characteristic vibrational bands as a function of irradiation fluence indicate that cleavage of the backbone (Si–O–Si) PDMS chains was most pronounced. Importantly, structural degradation of PDMS-DND composites takes place at an order of magnitude higher fluence than for pure PDMS, indicating the potential of using DND-based polymer composites for application in high radiation environments. The appearance of strong photoluminescence following irradiation was more pronounced for PDMS-DND composites as compared to pure PDMS.

“…However so far, agglomerates of diamond nanoparticles have been only dispersed down to very small size when mechanical means have been applied or when most of the material is discarded after dispersion and fractionated sedimentation [5]. Although very efficient in producing nanodiamond colloids, mechanical methods always come on the price of contamination with debris from milling beads [6]. Furthermore, the stepwise deagglomeration and surface functionalization leads either to functionalized agglomerates, or inhomogeneously functionalized particles and only the simultaneous deagglomeration and surface modification leads to the desired functional diamond nanoparticles (vide infra).…”

“…Diamond materials have recently received increased interest as they possess several attractive properties [7], for a variety of applications such as fluorescence labeling [8], drug delivery [9] polymer composites [6,10], magnetometry [11] and electronic applications such as sensor devices [12]. Not only diamond films but also diamond nanoparticles are particularly promising for several of these uses, especially for labeling and composite applications.…”
