Abstract

The success of the emerging CVD diamond film industry will depend to a great extent on how well these films can be put to practical applications. Our research is presently focusing on the development of methods for the growth of large thin wall diamond shapes which can be subsequently strongly bonded to other support materials. The shapes such as cylinders, hemispheres, etc. will be designed to take advantage of diamond's superior hardness and thermal conductivity. As these diamond shapes also promise low friction and long wearing surfaces, they have potential uses as bearing surfaces as well as very scratch resistant covers for mirrors and lenses. Our primary research objectives will be concerned with: 1. The development of various apparatus to grow selected shapes of CVD diamond. 2. The development of techniques to transfer and bond the films onto materials other than the original substrates. 3. The physical and chemical characterization of the diamond films, composites, and final products.
