Graphical Abstract
Nanodiamond has become an attractive material for various applications. Its synthesis by detonation or shock wave is up-scalable, its surface can be functionalized, and the possible applications include composites, biolabels, and electronic devices. This Research News article discusses the recent developments in the field of nanoscale diamond particles.
Abstract
Nanodiamond materials have become broadly available. Their synthesis is usually carried out by explosion or shock wave methods. They exhibit a unique surface structure and can be functionalized in various ways. This opens a broad range of applications in composites, biological systems, electronics, and surface technology.
