The temperature dependence of thermal conductivity and specific heat for detonated nanodiamond ceramics is investigated on specially designed experimental setups, implementing the uniaxial stationary flow method relaxation method, respectively. Additionally, complementary studies with a commercial setup (Physical Property Measurement System from Quantum Design operating either in Thermal Transp...

A nano-hollow zeolite-encapsulating ultra-fine Fe nanoparticle catalyst denoted as Fe@n-hS-HT was successfully synthesized through a simple water steam treatment of the Fe@n-hS prepared by “dissolution–recrystallization” (D-R) method. The had hierarchical porous structure and high dispersion Fe2O3 particles with size 3.4 nm. Furthermore, results several characterization methods, such XRD, HAADF...

We have measured the response of shear stress to ac electric fields under steady shear flow in the droplet-dispersed phase of an immiscible polymer blend. A characteristic mode was found under steady shear flow, the relaxation frequency of which increased with increasing the shear rate. In the frequency dispersion, a scaling relation derived from dimensional analysis was confirmed to hold. The ...

The electronic properties of graphene sheets decorated with nanodiamond (ND) particles have been investigated. The chemical fusion of ND to the graphene lattice creates pockets of local defects with robust interfacial bonding. At the ND-bonded regions, the atoms of graphene lattice follow sp(3)-like bonding, and such regions play the role of conduction bottlenecks for the percolating sp(2) grap...

BACKGROUND This study investigated the use of nanodiamond particles (NDs) as a promising material for drug delivery in vivo and in vitro. METHODS HepG2 cells (a human hepatic carcinoma cell line) were used to determine the characteristics of a nanodiamond-doxorubicin complex (ND-DOX) when taken up by cells in vitro using laser scanning confocal microscopy and dialysis experiments. We also com...
