Ray's technology for producing
nanodiamonds is based on the laser treatment of specially prepared
multicomponent solid target containing carbon black mixed within hydrocarbon
media. The target is placed in transparent liquid and pulse laser beam of high
energy is focused at some predetermined distance above the target. The shock wave occurs due to the light
hydraulic effect in liquid and results in the collecting of carbon atoms in
nanocrystals with diamond cubic lattice.
In contrast to the traditional
technology of nanodiamond synthesis by detonation of explosives in metal
reactors, Ray's method is controllable, environment-friendly and non-hazardous.
Ray-nanodiamonds are of much higher purity than detonation
nanodiamonds available in the market.
Industrial manufacturing of nanodiamonds by Ray’s technology
will lead to significant reducing the cost, better results in most existing
applications, rapid enhancing of Global Nanodiamond Market and appearance of
new nanodiamond applications where the purity of nanodiamonds is of special
importance.
