Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue on "Nanodiamond Hybrid Materials: Synthesis and Application".

The discipline of surface engineering includes a broad spectrum of techniques, which can be used to functionalize surfaces and develop a wide range of physical or chemical properties. There are plenty of applications for functionalized surfaces in the automotive, aerospace, power or biomedical sector. This particular Special Issue will focus on surface engineering approaches to changing material functionalities. Nanodiamonds, due to the susceptibility to modification of their surface, are used in industrial lubricants, polishing, composite, galvanochemical coatings, metal, polymer-based composites, drug delivery, and catalysis and can be used as sensors or carriers of active substances with specific biological or biochemical properties. Functionalized nanodiamonds are also used as cross-linkers or kinetic chain carriers in polymer synthesis. This allows obtaining refined plastics for special applications as well as smart materials with self-healing properties. Nanodiamond contributes to the reinforcement of mechanical properties of polymer and ceramic composites. The abovementioned applications can be used in thin film coatings on utility materials to improve their properties or give them completely new ones.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest experimental and theoretical developments in the field, through a combination of original research papers and review articles from leading groups around the world. In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to:

  • Fundamentals and new concepts of nanodiamond hybrid materials;
  • Novel synthesis methods of nanodiamond hybrid materials;
  • Modeling and characterization methods of surface of nanodiamond hybrid materials;
  • Implementation of nanodiamond hybrid materials into medicine;
  • Application of nanodiamond hybrid materials into food industry;
  • Food packaging activated nanodiamond hybrid materials.

The main problem with using modified allotrophic forms of carbon with nanodiamond particles in the production of food packaging is establishing the boundary between safety, as it affects the human body, and the adequate and effective action of the substances. One vital area of concern is the transmission of pathogens in food into the body. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity and bacteriostatic biological activity of two different modifications of diamond nanoparticles: pure detonation nanodiamond particles (DND) obtained by Danienko and plasma-chemically modified detonation nanodiamond particles obtained by the microwave plasma activated chemical vapor deposition method in a rotary chamber (MDP1) An indirect method was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity effect in accordance with ISO 10993–5. The viability of the L929 fibroblast cell line used as a control was 98.5%, for DND 95.14%, and the lowest level of viability for MDP1 was 88.63%. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria were used in bacteriostatic tests and the degree of cytotoxicity of the tested materials was classified as low. The in vitro cytotoxicity results indicate no toxic effect on L929 cells nor any effect on any of the samples tested against the bacterial strains us Full article

In this paper, a novel fabrication technology of atomic force microscopy (AFM) probes integrating cantilever tips with an NV-rich diamond particle is presented. Nanomanipulation techniques combined with the focused electron beam-induced deposition (FEBID) procedure were applied to position the NV-rich diamond particle on an AFM cantilever tip. Ultrasonic treatment of nanodiamond suspension was applied to reduce the size of diamond particles for proper geometry and symmetry. The fabricated AFM probes were tested utilizing measurements of the electrical resistance at highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and compared with a standard AFM cantilever performance. The results showed novel perspectives arising from combining the functionalities of a scanning AFM with optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR). In particular, it offers enhanced magnetometric sensitivity and the nanometric resolution. Full article

Carbon-based nanomaterials (CBN) are currently used in many biomedical applications. The research includes optimization of single grain size and conglomerates of pure detonated nanodiamond (DND), modified nanodiamond particles and graphene oxide (GO) in order to compare their bactericidal activity against food pathogens. Measurement of grain size and zeta potential was performed using the Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) method. Surface morphology was evaluated using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and confocal microscope. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was performed in order to confirm the crystallographic structure of detonation nanodiamond particles. Bacteriostatic tests were performed by evaluating the inhibition zone of pathogens in the presence of carbon based nanomaterials. Raman spectroscopy showed differences between the content of the diamond and graphite phases in diamond nanoparticles. Fluorescence microscopy and adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) determination methods were used to assess the bactericidal of bioactive polymers obtained by modification of food wrapping film using various carbon-based nanomaterials. The results indicate differences in the sizes of individual grains and conglomerates of carbon nanomaterials within the same carbon allotropes depending on surface modification. The bactericidal properties depend on the allotropic form of carbon and the type of surface modification. Depending on the grain size of carbon-based materials, surface modification, the content of the diamond and graphite phases, surface of carbon-based nanomaterials film formation shows more or less intense bactericidal properties and differentiated adhesion of bacterial biofilms to food films modified with carbon nanostructures.
