Product Overview
DND is an ultra-fine nanodiamond produced by controlled detonation synthesis, with primary diamond crystallites typically around 4–5 nm. Its extremely small primary size, high specific surface area and tunable surface chemistry make it suitable for ultra-fine polishing, surface modification, tribological formulations and functional nanocomposites where nanoscale interfacial interaction is important.
