Experimental Study of Transport Coefficients of Aqueous Suspensions of Nanodiamonds

This article presents experimental data on the coefficients of viscosity and thermal and electrical conductivities, as well as the absorption spectra, of suspensions of ultradispersed diamonds. Suspensions of UDA-S and UDP-A detonation nanodiamond particles, as well as UDP-AG diamond–graphite powder, are used in the experiments. The concentration of nanodiamonds in distilled water is varied within a range of 0.5–5 wt %. It is shown that the technology of purification diamond powders from side products of their synthesis substantially affects the physicochemical properties of aqueous suspensions of these powders.
