Any info on growth rate ?

If you have any info on growth rate please add it to the article. Thanks. 78.97.51.13 (talk) 19:36, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Non-stick cookware

How is a low coefficient of thermal expansion an advantage for coating cookware? If you coat a metal pan with a rigid material with a low coefficient of thermal expansion, it will crack or peel as soon as it is heated. --Slashme 09:30, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

If the substrate is metal, you surely are right. If a substrate with lower thermal expansion coefficient, pyrex for example, is used you could be wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.53.181.105 (talk) 19:14, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Problems

The section criticizing CVD diamonds appears to be a poorly organized set of slander, which is not supported by so much as one citation.24.65.95.239 (talk) 23:15, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

I think calling it slander is pretty silly. The list there includes research issues I faced every day when I worked in this area, including criticism we got from both manufacturers and venture capital companies we were courting. Since I spent quite a bit of time trying to overcome exactly those problems and did a lot of research into other group's work to do the same, calling it slander is wrong.

On the other hand, it's clearly unsupported. I think there are some "state-of-the-field" type papers that might go into these arguments well enough for a few links, and if I can find the time maybe I'll dig one up. The reality is that people don't spend a lot of time publishing papers that document why they haven't been able to enter the marketplace, so if someone removed the section I'd understand - I hope they'll keep a copy of it in here, the discussion page, just for future reference.--PitOfBabel (talk) 18:21, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I went bold and emptied the section - it did appear as an essay and promotion of the Carnegie group (they are not special in high-rate CVD diamond growth). The mentioned problems, if included at all, should be written keeping a neutral point of view, and with recent references - things change quickly in this field.

Redirect from CVD Diamond

CVD Diamond should redirect here rather than to Synthetic Diamond. If someone knows how to do this, please do. 66.71.70.134 (talk) 06:45, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
