Abstract

The influence of the concentration of potassium and barium chlorides on the aggregation stability of a hydrosol of monodisperse negatively charged detonation nanodiamond with particle sizes of 4−5 nm obtained by annealing of its agglomerates in air has been studied by turbidimetry. The experimental results have been discussed within the classical and generalized Derjaguin−Landau−Verwey−Overbeek theories. The analysis of the pair interaction potentials calculated for ultradispersed particles of detonation nanodiamond has led to the conclusion that the coagulation occurs by the barrier mechanism in the primary potential minimum. It has been assumed that the structural component of the interparticle interaction energy contributes to the total balance of the surface forces.
