Transparent Colloids of Detonation Nanodiamond: Physical, Chemical and Biological Properties.

Aqueous suspensions (colloids) containing detonation nano-diamond (DND) feature in most applications of DND and are an indispensable stage of its production; therefore, the interaction of DND with water is actively studied. However, insufficient attention has been paid to the unique physico-chemical and biological properties of transparent colloids with DND content (≤0.1%), which are the subject of this review.
