A nickel-nanodiamond composite coating was prepared on the surface of annealed 45 carbon steel by double-pulse electrodeposition. The effect nanodiamond particle content morphology, grain size and wear corrosion resistance were investigated. According to analysis test results X-ray diffractometry scanning electron microscopy, it found that cathodic polarization electrodeposition process enhance...

The use of nanodiamonds as anticancer drug delivery vehicles has received much attention in recent years. In this theoretical paper, we propose using different esterification methods for nanodiamonds. The monomers proposed are 2-hydroxypropanal, polyethylene glycol, and polyglicolic acid. Specifically, the hydrogen bonds, infrared (IR) spectra, molecular polar surface area, and reactivity param...

Nanodiamond has been proven to be biocompatible and proposed for various biomedical applications. Recently, nanometer-sized diamonds have been demonstrated as an effective Raman/fluorescence probe for bio-labeling, as well as, for drug delivery. Bio-labeling/drug delivery can be extended to the human blood system, provided one understands the interaction between nanodiamonds and the blood syste...

Understanding nanodiamond functionalisation is of great importance for biological and medical applications. Here we examine the stabilities of oxygen, hydroxyl, and water functionalisation of the nanodiamonds using the self-consistent charge density functional tight-binding simulations. We find that the oxygen and hydroxyl termination are thermodynamically favourable and form strong C–O covalen...

Sensors that harness quantum mechanical effects can enable high sensitivity and spatial resolution probing of their environment. The nitrogen-vacancy defect in diamond, a single, optically accessible electronic spin, is promising sensor operate soft living systems provides nanoscale when hosted inside diamond nanoparticle. Nanodiamond sensors are nontoxic, amenable to surface functionalization,...

Nanodiamond-perylene diimide composites retain solution phase optical properties of the parent perylene dye in solid state.

The paper reports correlation between processing, structural and magnetic properties of cobalt nanoparticles dispersed in an insulating oxide matrix. High-temperature, chemical decomposition approach was utilized to achieve highly-dispersed, ultra-fine cobalt nanoparticles in silica matrix. Synthesis parameters such as precursor to passivating agent ratio were designed to control the metal-to-o...
