Properties: • Synthetic diamond is the hardest material known • The highest known thermal conductivity • Excellent electrical insulator properties • A wide electronic band gap (it carries very low current even under high voltages) For more info, please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_diamond Synthetic Diamonds What is a Synthetic Diamond? Synthetic diamond is a diamond produced in an artificial process, as opposed to natural diamonds, which are created by geological processes and thus some call Synthetic diamond “fake”. • Similarities and differences between synthetic diamonds and real diamonds: • Both have the exact same chemical composition and properties • Real diamonds are found in the earth while synthetic diamonds are man-made/artificial Done by: Jonas Ng (12) 2A3
