Summary

[edit]
Description
English: These ultrananocrystalline diamond-coated pump seals garnered one of Argonne National Laboratory's two 2008 R&D 100 awards.

The surfaces of these ultrananocrystalline-diamond (UNCD) mechanical seals are specially treated with a continuous film of tiny diamonds. This diamonds coating improves the pumps' reliability and ability to prevent fluids from escaping into the environment. UNCD is an engineered nanomaterials invented at Argonne. It consists of diamond grains two to five nanometers in diameter. UNCD marked the first ever affordable diamond film suitable for mass production of a wide range of diamond based microelectromechanical system, nanoelectromechanical system devices, biodevices, biosensors and microelectronic circuits. Cash for diamonds

Adjustments in the original production process made UNCD cost-effective for mechanical seals.
