摘要:
The present invention is related to a method of producing a nanoporous body containing nanodiamonds and having a desired shape, comprising the steps of: forming an intermediate body having the desired shape of nanodiamond particles having a maximum size of 10 nm, exposing said body to a gaseous hydrocarbon or a mixture of hydrocarbons at a temperature exceeding the decomposition temperature for the hydrocarbon or the hydrocarbons. In accordance with the invention the intermediate body is formed with a porosity of 50-80 vol.%, and during the heat-treatment of the intermediate body with hydrocarbon or hydrocarbons the mass of said body is increased by 50 % at the most. The present invention also relates to a nonoporous body produced by said method and to uses of such a body.
