Is totally non-conductive and chemically non-reactive. Be careful of metal fillers in epoxies because they might result in electrically conductive epoxy. I buy my diamond from SMG in Berkeley, CA. They have various grades from about 50 cents to 2.50 a carat. Now that I think about it, I used 100 carats, not 50, in my diamond/epoxy mix.... maybe... it was a while back. I assure you though, it is a quantum leap ahead of any other filled epoxy in terms of absolute physical stability. Around my speaker terminals everything locked in so tight it sounded as if the pre epoxy speakers were fuzzy blurred things....Another cautionary note you must take seriously. Industrial diamond is an inhalation hazard. Although the particles are small, they are engineered to be as sharp as possible. They will do some damage to your lungs if you breathe a cloud of diamond powder. Super fine powders aren't too common in daily life. A one micron dust is essentially the fineness of smoke particles. If you dump it out of the bottle, it will cloud like smoke too. You must use a fine dust mast and very, very carefully nudge the powder out or spoon it out slowly. DON'T just plop it into a bowl like you might do with a carbide grit. It would be like breathing a cloud of microscopic knives.
I see also that fullerenes are now in production. Haven't bought my first bottle of buckyballs yet but it sure is interesting as a concept. Buckyball filled epoxy ?
