Introduction to Nanodiamond Surface

We show that the etching removes the nanodiamond surface sp2-induced defects resulting in a reduction in the broad luminescence background and a narrowing of the diamond Raman band.

This review provides an overview of nanodiamond surface functionalization methods including homogeneous surface termination approaches (hydrogenation, halogenation, amination, oxidation, and reduction), in addition to covalent and non-covalent surface modification with different functional moieties.

Coordination of metal precursors on a nanodiamond surface proceeds with the participation of functional groups, as is confirmed by a change in the electrokinetic charge of the surface.

The ultrabroad-band electromagnetic absorption results mainly from the π-p hybridization induced nanodiamond surface defect state, the multiple polarizations and interfaces, as well as the biomimetic pomegranate like hierarchical structures leading to the synergistic magnetic and dielectric dissipations.

The effect of amide functional groups at the nanodiamond surface is of great significance.

It was found that the amount of the adsorbed protein depends on the charge of the nanodiamond surface.

We present clear evidence on chemical binding of Mn2+ ions to nanodiamond surface; ions interact with electron and nuclear spins of a diamond nanoparticle, thus accelerating spin-lattice relaxation.

Herein, we report an interaction of OTA with calf thymus DNA (ct DNA) on the nanodiamond surface.

Since the photoluminescent properties of NV centers are dependent on characteristics including charge state and nanodiamond surface, it is important to be able to fully study the location of a NV center within the diamond lattice [2].

To determine the direct amount of hyaluronic acid on the nanodiamond surface tritium label was introduced into the polymer by means of tritium thermal activation method.

The paper discusses the reasons of different rheological behavior depending on nanodiamond surface functionalization.

Combination of both oxygen and hydrogen functional groups on the nanodiamond surface appears to be the most favorable for the optoelectronic effects.

Towards the long-term goal of developing a nanodiamond-tiopronin treatment paradigm, this study aims to shed light on the effects of nanodiamond surface chemistry on adsorption and release of tiopronin.

0), the nanodiamond carboxylic group cooperated with the doxorubicin amino group to form a stable and non-covalent bond on nanodiamond surfaces served as a simple physical adsorption.

Proteomics data suggest that the top 30 proteins of nanodiamonds that are incubated in fetal bovine serum are similar in terms of abundance and function, despite differences in the nanodiamond surface properties.

The removal of graphite-like fragments from the nanodiamond surface allowed us to detect the characteristic photoluminescence of the NV− color centers in individual nanodiamond aggregates of sizes from 50–100 to 500–700 nm.

The hydrophilic head could adsorb on nanodiamond surface through hydrogen bonding between the OH of head and the COOH of nanodiamond.

The adsorption of amikacin on the surface of detonation nanodiamonds was revealed as proceeding via the Coulomb or donor–acceptor interactions depending on the functional composition of the nanodiamond surface.

The present study offers a less time-consuming functionalization method at 40 °C via reaction between the epoxy-rings of the modifier and carboxylic groups at the nanodiamond surface.

Successful fabrication of organic groups on to the nanodiamond surface was established initially using FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), then confirmed by 13C CP-MAS solid state NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis.

In this chapter, the authors review and discuss the spectroscopic studies of nanodiamond surfaces focusing on the infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, including SERS, photoluminescence spectroscopy and lifetime analysis.
