The Global Market for Nanodiamonds 2023-2033

Nanodiamonds (NDs) are diamond phase carbon nanomaterials that were initially used for their strong abrasive properties and as lubricant additives for industrial applications. Now they are impacting a broad range of markets including batteries, supercapacitors, skincare, biomedicine, coatings and plastics.

Main types of commercial NDs produced are categorized as high-pressure high temperature (HPHT) nanodiamonds, CVD diamond and detonation nanodiamonds (DND). Extremely small amounts of nanodiamond additives can modify a variety of thermal and mechanical properties in various parent materials.

Properties include:
Diamond core: highest hardness (167 Gpa) and wear resistance
Highest thermal conductivity (2300 W/mK)
High electrical resistivity (10¹³ ῼcm)
Low thermal expansion (1.0×10-6 K-1)
Wide band gap (5.47 eV {300 K})
High refractive index (2.417)
Low specific gravity (3.52)
Chemical/radiation resistance
Biocompatibility
Large surface area (250- 450 m²/g)
High & controllable chemical activity of the surface.
Environmentally friendly (green additives).

Main current applications of Nanodiamonds in terms of volume demand are:
Fine polishing abrasives.
Coatings additives (galvanic and electroless).
Lubricant additives (oils and grease).
Reinforcing polymer fillers.

Other applications that will gain commercial prominence include skincare, biomedicine (e.g. drug delivery and biosensors) and batteries.
