Radio frequency plasma chemical vapor deposited thin films of diamond-like carbon/ SiO 2 nanocomposites by way of tetraethoxysilane This article reports on a technique for patterning diamond nanogrit which utilizes commercial ink-jet printer technology. Diamond nanogrit as small as 50 nm has been successfully printed onto substrates of glass, silicon, copper, and fused quartz. The technique has been used to demonstrate a quick and simple means to seed patterned. nanocrystalline diamond films onto candidate substrates of potentially any conceivable size or shape.
