Initially, nanodiamonds were applied in the defense industry in Russia, but
now they reached into a variety of fields, such as fine polishing, lubricating,
coatings and polymers. Currently, nanodiamonds are entering in thermal management,
photovoltaics, catalysis, analytical chemistry, energy storage, neutron
technologies and bio-medicine.
