ABSTRACT

With the rapid development of Nano science and nanotechnology, a wide variety of nanomaterial have been synthesized and discovered. Diamond nanoparticles, or Nanodiamonds, have the most disparate origins. Diamond nanoparticles are another form of carbon nanomaterial’s with unique properties and applications They are found in crude oil at concentrations up to thousands of parts per million, in meteorites, interstellar dust, and protoplanetary nebulae, as well as in certain sediment layers on Earth. They can also be produced in the laboratory by chemical vapor deposition or by detonating high explosive materials.[27] Nano diamonds have excellent mechanical and optical properties, high surface areas and tunable surface structures. Diamond nanoparticles are another form of carbon nanomaterial with unique properties and applications. Here we review the synthesis, structure, properties, and applications of individual Nano diamonds and clusters of Nano diamonds and their biomedical applications.

Keywords: Nanotechnology, nanoparticles, Nanodiamonds, detonation.
