일반 설명Diamond nanopowder (DNPs) may be produced by multicathode direct current plasma chemical vapor deposition and high pressure high temperature (HPHT).Potential uses of nano-diamond are in biosensor applications. Surface modification of nano-diamond may enhance its linking mechanism with specific biomolecules. DNPs can be subjected to functionalization post Fenton treatment. These functionalized DNPs may be used as gene delivery systems.

정의ChEBI: An allotropic form of the element carbon with cubic structure which is thermodynamically stable at pressures above 6 GPa at room temperature and metastable at atmospheric pressure. At low pressures diamond converts rapidly to graphite at temperatures above 1900 K in an inert atmosphere. The chemical bonding between the carbon atoms is covalent with sp3 hybridization.
