This chapter addresses the key problems involved in the technologyof preparation of nanodiamond by detonation of strong explosives.As pointed out in Chapter 1, detonation synthesis builds upon twobasic ideas:• Use of the shock wave forming in the detonation of an explosive as a source of high pressure and temper-ature for synthesis of crystalline diamond from carbonmaterial• Formation of diamond crystals by self-assembly from carbon atoms of the explosive itselfWe are turning now to a more detailed consideration of thetechnology of the process.
