| Summary |
Nanodiamonds are indispensable for polishing industrial materials (computer hard drives and read heads) and advanced ceramics (silicon carbide and gem diamond). This book is suitable for those dealing with nanodiamonds, as well as those interested in a general education of nano-sized materials |

| Notes |
Dr James C. Sung received his PhD from MIT in 1976. Subsequently, he joined General Electric (the largest diamond maker) and was manager of Diamond Engineering until 1984. Dr Sung later helped Norton (the largest diamond user) establish diamond synthesis capabilities. In late 1980s he also transferred diamond technology to Iljin of Korea (the largest diamond maker in Asia). In early 1990 Dr Sung developed novel diamond tools at Industrial Technology Research Institute in Taiwan. Since 1996, Dr Sung has developed state-of-the-art diamond technologies for Kinik in Taiwan. As a result, Kinik became the world's largest producer of diamond disks that was indispensable for the manufacture of semiconductor products. Dr Sung holds over 100 US patents. He has published more than 200 papers and has also authored 20 books |
