Hard nanodiamonds in soft rubbers: Past, present and future – A review

Nanodiamond–polymer composites

“…A recent review on ND-and ND-containing soot reinforced rubbers provides more information on the subject 72 . Further studies on the reinforcing mechanisms of ND in elastomeric polymer matrices are required.…”

Nanodiamonds: From Synthesis and Purification to Deposition Techniques, Hybrids Fabrication and Applications

“…Dealing with applications, better performances of NDs composites with polymers should be expected by the use of new surface functionalization more adapted to elastomers [175,182]. Improvements of NDs dispersion into polymers is also an important issue.…”

“…As nanosized oxides, metal oxides or other carbon nanostructures, nanodiamonds are excellent candidates to strengthen polymers. Performances of rubbers reinforced by NDs were recently reviewed [175]. Tribological properties of different NDs-polymer composites like friction coefficient or wear rate were very significantly enhanced [176][177][178][179][180].…”

Dopamine@Nanodiamond as novel reinforcing nanofillers for polyimide with enhanced thermal, mechanical and wear resistance performance

“…[4][5][6] In particular, carbonaceous materials tend to aggregate in the polymer matrix due to their strong p-p stacking and van der Waals interactions, which will seriously damage the performance of nanomaterials. 7,8 Therefore, the homogeneous dispersion of carbonaceous materials throughout the matrix without destroying its integrity and good interfacial bonding with the polymer matrix are essential for their effective utilization in composite applications. Covalent functionalization of carbonaceous materials is an effective approach to increase their processability and manipulate the interfacial properties of composites.…”
