The advantages of nanodiamonds with crystalline structure in 5 nm size and nanoonions also own easily modifiable surface properties to control surface charge and chemical functionality, which can be stabilized in aqueous environment at varied pH. Moreover, depending on the carbon lattice morphology, nanodiamond and nanoonions offer the unique functionality in physical absorbance of small molecules, energy absorbance, high thermal expansion, and high electron capacity. Here, nanodiamonds with crystalline structure in 5 nm size and its derivative nanoonions with extremely amorphous structure and longer molecular lattice distance is extended into biomedical application as drug delivery, therapy, and imaging. The vasatile applications of nanodiamond and nanoonion as platform composite materials will be introduced in drug delivery, photoacoustic imaging, and potentials electric catalytic activity. |
