| Abstract Scope |
Diamond thin films, such as nanocrystalline diamond and ultrananocrystalline diamond thin films, are increasingly being utilized in biomedical applications. The terminology "ultrananocrystalline diamond" is utilized to refer to diamond thin films with grain sizes smaller than 10 nm, while the term "nanocrystalline diamond" is employed to describe materials with grain sizes ranging from 10 nm to 1 micrometer. These materials have been found to possess exceptional biological and biomedical characteristics, such as excellent biocompatibility. Additionally, the electrical conductivity of diamond thin films can be modified through the introduction of nitrogen. Ultrananocrystalline diamond microneedles were fabricated for the purpose of electrochemical sensing; in addition, nanoporous membranes were developed for neural interface applications. The findings of our study suggest that ultrananocrystalline diamond has the potential to provide unique attributes for a variety of medical devices. |
