At present, the application fields of nano-diamond power are mainly in aerospace manufacturing, precision machinery, optical instruments, automobile manufacturing and other industries. Specifically:
1. The most ideal polishing agent, can obtain atomic-level polished surface. Especially used for the finishing and polishing of various hard materials such as fine ceramics, integrated circuit chips, various gems, ferrite heads, quartz plates, super-hard alloys, optical lenses, etc.;
2. High hardness and high wear resistance plating and non-plating layer;
3. Metal composite material with high hardness and high wear resistance;
4. Low friction, low wear, high load, long life lubrication system (such as lubrication of various cylinders) and super lubricating oil.
5. PTFE-based composite material with high wear resistance and good lubricity;
6. It is an irreplaceable material for the production of polycrystalline diamond and diamond film.
However, a recent report from the University of Bremen in Germany reported that an international team of researchers from the school found that nanodiamonds can kill bacteria as effectively as metallic silver and copper. Nanodiamonds have a diameter of about 5 nanometers (1 nanometer is equal to 1 billionth of a meter), which is about one-two percent of bacteria, and can be produced by exploding carbon-containing compounds in a high-pressure container. After this gray-brown diamond powder undergoes different heat treatments, different chemical groups will be formed on the surface. Researchers have discovered that some nanodiamonds have strong bactericidal properties and can kill bacteria in a short time. A specific oxygen-containing group called acid anhydride on the surface of nanodiamonds seems to be the reason for their bactericidal properties. The researchers said that experiments have shown that nano diamond particles with bactericidal properties may be used to produce surface coatings, bactericides, and so on.
The research results were published in the professional journal “ACS Nano”. Researcher Yulia Waring believes that when many bacteria are resistant to antibiotics, the discovery of a new type of antibacterial material can be described as a “breakthrough”, which is expected to spawn a new diamond application market, Hongwu Nano Getting involved in the production of nanodiamonds is also looking forward to the wide application of nanodiamonds in antibacterial aspects.
Hongwu nano diamond ash powder can produce particles with a diameter of <10nm with a purity of more than 99%. If you need more product information, please feel free to contact us.
