The present invention relates to the field of manufacturing nanoparticles, and specifically to a method for manufacturing diamond nanoparticles, or nanodiamonds, by detonation at least one explosive charge, wherein said at least one explosive charge is nanostructured.

Method for manufacturing nanoparticles by detonation

An energetic composition with controlled detonation having at least a first organic material and a second material, where the second material is a porous material (micro-, meso-, or macroporous), having a pore ratio of at least 10% and preferably greater than 50%, and the first material is, at least partially, infiltrated into the pores of the second material. A mixture containing such a composition, and a method for manufacturing such a composition and such a mixture. Additionally, a method for fragmenting or expanding a microporous material at nanoscale.
