SYNTHESIS PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS OF ULTRAN...

We are pleased to present the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop Syntheses 
Properties and Applications of Ultrananocrystalline Diamond which was held June 7-10  2004 in
St. Petersburg  Russia. The main goal of the Workshop was to provide a forum for the intensive
exchange of opinions between scientists from Russia and NATO countries in order to give
additional impetus to the development of the science and applications of a new carbon
nanostructure  called ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) composed of 2-5 nm crystallites.
There are two forms of UNCD  dispersed particles and films. The two communities of researchers
working on these two forms of UNCD have hitherto lacked a common forum in which to explore
areas of scientific and technological overlap. As a consequence  the two fields have up to now
developed independently of each other. The time had clearly come to remedy this situation in
order to be able to take full advantage of the enormous potential for societal benefits to be
derived from exploiting the synergistic relationships between UNCD dispersed particulates and
UNCD films. The NATO sponsored ARW therefore occurred in a very timely manner and was
successful in beginning the desired dialogue  a precondition for making progress toward the
above stated goal. The discovery of UNCD completes a triadof nanostructured carbonswhich
includes fullerenes and nanotubes.
