Abstract

Nanomaterials are a promising and popular research topic for many scientists. Nanodiamond is a branch of nanotechnology in nanoscience. Nanodiamond is a newly emerging type of nanoparticle because of its small size, i.e., 3-4 nm size and shape, and a wide variety of applications such as bioimaging, gene therapy, and new targeted drug delivery for various drugs. Bio applications must meet a number of requirements, such as being safe and effective. In the past, nanodiamond was made in a number of ways, such as by detonation, laser ablation, high pressure and high temperature (HPHT), and explosives. In this review, we cover the following: introduction, features, types, synthesis, future prospects, and application.
