“…Nanodiamonds (NDs) are an emerging class of engineered carbon-based nanomaterials known for their narrow size distribution and high surface area, light weight, high adsorption capability, chemical and thermal stability, as well as biocompatibility [1,2]. Their ability to allow multisurface functionalization by bio-conjugation with nucleic acids, proteins and therapeutic agents [3,4] make NDs viable candidates for a variety of applications in the biomedical, pharmaceutical, and industrial fields [5].…”

Nanodiamonds (NDs) are an emerging class of engineered nanomaterials that hold great promise for the next generation of bionanotechnological products to be used for drug and gene delivery, or for bio-imaging and biosensing. Previous studies have shown that upon their cellular uptake, NDs exhibit high biocompatibility in various in vitro and in vivo set-ups. Herein we hypothesized that the increased NDs biocompatibility is a result of minimum membrane perturbations and their reduced ability to induce disruption or damage during cellular translocation. Using multi-scale combinatorial approaches that simulate ND-membrane interactions, we correlated NDs real-time cellular uptake and kinetics with the ND-induced membrane fluctuations to derive energy requirements for the uptake to occur. Our discrete and real-time analyses showed that the majority of NDs internalization occurs within 2 h of cellular exposure, however, with no effects on cellular viability, proliferation or cellular behavior. Furthermore, our simulation analyses using coarse-grained models identified key changes in the energy profile, membrane deformation and recovery time, all functions of the average ND or ND-based agglomerate size. Understanding the mechanisms responsible for ND-cell membrane interactions could possibly advance their implementation in various biomedical applications.

The thermal and ablative properties of carbon nanotube (CNT) and nanodiamond (ND) reinforced carbon fibre epoxy matrix composites were investigated by simulating shear forces and high temperatures using oxyacetylene torch apparatus. Three types of composite specimens—(i) carbon fibre epoxy matrix composite (CF/Epoxy), (ii) carbon fibre epoxy matrix composite containing 0.1 wt-% CNTs and 0.1 wt-% NDs, and (iii) carbon fibre epoxy matrix composite containing 0.2 wt-% CNTs and 0.2 wt-% NDs—were explored. The ablative response of composites was studied through pre- and post-burnt SEM analysis and further related with thermogravimetric analysis, weight loss profile and thermal conductivity measurements. The novel nanofiller composites showed marked improvement in their thermal and ablative properties. A 22% and 30% increase in thermal conductivity was observed for composites containing 0.1 wt-% CNTs/0.1 wt-% NDs and 0.2 wt-% CNTs/0.2 wt-% NDs respectively. These nanofillers also improved the thermal stability of thermosetting epoxy matrix, and an increase of 13% and 20% was recorded in the erosion rate of composites containing 0.1 wt-% CNTs/0.1 wt-% NDs and 0.2 wt-% CNTs/0.2 wt-% NDs respectively. This improvement is due to the increased char yield produced by the increase in the loading of nanofillers, i.e. CNTs and NDs. Insulation index and insulation to density performance have also been improved due to increased thermal conductivity and char yield.
