Detonation Nanodiamonds as Part of Smart Composite Paintwork Materials

Abstract

The development of materials using fillers of polymer matrices with micron and submicron levels of dispersion has largely exhausted itself in achieving a new level of performance. New breakthrough solutions can be reached using the principles of nanotechnology, using the nanodispersed state of reinforcing components, the synthesis of which is very promising both theoretically and practically from the point of view of creating smart composite paints and varnishes. Such nano dispersed particles are nanodiamonds - promising representatives of carbon nanostructures, which have a crystal lattice characteristic of ordinary diamond: planaxial class of cubic syngony, two face-centered Brave lattices, shifted relative to each other by 1/4 of the main diagonal from each diagonal, but 10 nm. The aim of the work was to study the effect of nanodiamond particle additives on the physical-mechanical and optical properties of nanocomposite paints and prediction of their further use in various industries. It is established that the introduction of nanodiamonds leads to the increased wear resistance of paints and varnishes and leads to a decrease in ultraviolet radiation under the coating. According to research, detonation nanodiamonds are recommended for the production of water-based nanocomposite acrylic polymers in various industries to create coatings to absorb ultraviolet radiation and improve their physical and mechanical properties.
