Abstract
Abstract:
Diamond is a metastable carbon allotrope. Microdiamonds are monocrystalline diamonds
with particle sizes of less than 100 nm that have been explored over the last few decades. Nanodiamonds
are particularly appealing to provide a variety of possible applications due to their superior mechanical
and optical qualities, wide surface area, ease of bioconjugation, and high biocompatibility. In
recent years, NDs have gotten a lot of attention in nanomedicine, and some significant progress has
been made. The methods for creating various kinds of nanodiamonds are generalized, including detonation,
CVD, hydrothermal and High-Pressure, High-Temperature Microdiamond Milling procedures.
The characteristics, properties, synthesis, structure and surface functionalization, and applications of
nanodiamonds for antimicrobial activity are discussed in this review paper.
