Main advantages of ND particles for nanocomposites stem from
these unique properties: 1) diamond structure that provides superior
Young's modulus, hardness, high thermal conductivity and electrical
resistivity, low coefficient of friction, chemical stability, and biocompatibility;
2) small and uniform size, eliminating the need for costly fractionation
procedures required for some other nanoparticles; 3) nearly
spherical shape as compared to carbon nanotubes, graphene, etc.
