Detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) are known to be produced in aggregated clusters of a few nanometer‐sized primary crystalline particles embedded in an amorphous carbon matrix exhibiting high degree of polydispersity. A commonly accepted mechanism behind DND aggregation is the bridging of primary parti...
