研究実績の概要 |
Two major achievements have been achieved: 1) Stable dispersion of nanodiamond (ND) in organic solvents was made using non-covalent modification of ND surface and a step-wise solvent exchange method. Formation mechanism of the stable dispersion was studied mainly using dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy revealing a new understanding of colloidal stability. The invented procedure can be useful for the preparation of advanced nanocomposites for tribology and coating. 2) Self-assembled membranes based on nanodiamond and block copolymers have been fabricated. The membranes showed a promising performance in nanofiltration range that indicates ND potential in forming self-assembled channels for water purification and in improving mechanical stability of the membrane.

理由
The initial plan to chemically modify nanodiamond (ND) and disperse it in organic solvents did not work as expected. The main challenge was in the purification process, and the modified ND formed large aggregates with a broad distribution, not suitable for creating nanocomposite. However, approaching the end of fiscal year, a new method to disperse ND in organic solvents was finally invented and some good results were obtained accordingly.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
The next research plan will be dedicated for writing two manuscripts and disseminating research outcomes at workshops/conferences. Some additional experiments to complement the main results will still be conducted, such as differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis.
