Electrical properties of aggregated detonation nanodiamonds
Detonation nanodiamond (DND) is an attractive class of diamond material, which has been used as a biocompatible material for in-vivo drug delivery carriers, electrochemical catalyses, fluorescent markers, purification of proteins, and bacterial binding biosensors. This paper demonstrated the electrical properties of DND using impedance spectroscopy for the first time. The results help the understand of surface properties of DND. Therefore we can manipulate the surface physical and chemical properties of DND for specific applications. An EU FP7 IRSES project (No:295208, value: €233,100) led by Aston has been awarded recently and the work packages at Aston are based on this.
