Research Advancement Towards Polymer/Nanodiamond Composite in Buckypaper: A Review

ABSTRACT

Recent technological advancements in polymeric buckypaper materials have brought spotlight on polymer/nanodiamond buckypaper. This review is designed as systematic and comprehensive source of information and research on nanodiamond, polymer/nanodiamond nanocomposite and buckypaper, and technological advancement in this field. Structure, properties, and manufacturing techniques of polymer/nanodiamond buckypaper are reviewed. Because of outstanding physical properties, polymer-based buckypaper has been used as potential contenders in nanofilter, supercapacitor, fuel cell, electrical components, and biomedical devices. However, property dependence in relation to chemical structure is not fully identified in the literature. To find out further technical suitability of polymer/nanodiamond materials are still among predominant research challenges.
