In this work, a simple and effective method for the covalent functionalization of nanodiamond (ND) with four epoxies has been developed. After homogenization by mixed acids and thionyl chlorides, the surface of ND was modified with triethylenetetramine (TETA) to possess amine groups, which were used as active points to react with epoxy by ring opening reaction. Four different epoxies used are bifunctional diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA), trifunctional triglycidyl p-amino phenol (TGAP), tetrafunctional tetraglycidyldiamino diphenylmethane (TGDDM) and bisphenol-A novolac epoxy resin (BAEPN). FT-IR spectra revealed that the epoxy was covalently attached to the ND (ND-g-epoxy). In addition, functionalized ND particles were characterized with WAXD and UV-Vis spectra to confirm the result. The weight gains as a result of the epoxy-functionalized ND were determined by TGA analysis. The ND-g-epoxy particles were better dispersed in common organic solvents and the average diameters were characterized. The better dispersion and of the modified ND were identified from the SEM images.

A series of biodegradable nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have been designed utilizing poly(β-amino ester)-guanidine-phenylboronic acid (PBAE-G) polymers. In this study, a novel Lentinan-Functionalized PBAE-G-nanodiamond system was developed to carry ovalbumin (LNT-PBAE-G-ND@OVA). The impact of this drug delivery system on the activation and maturation of macrophages was then assessed.

Gel coating films comprising nanodiamonds organo-modified with 12-hydroxystearic (12-OHC ) and stearic acids were prepared and characterized. Because molecules with 12-OHC groups can convert solvents into thixotropic gels, Gemini-type diamide derivatives with two 12-OHC chains were also introduced as thixotropic additives into the gel coating films. Although the 12-OHC -modified nanodiamonds did not lead to solvent gelation on their own, they displayed an affinity for the thixotropic additive molecules.

Nanomaterials, heralded as the "new materials of the 21st century" for their remarkable physical and chemical properties and broad application potential, have attracted substantial attention in recent years. Among these materials, which challenge traditional physical boundaries, nanodiamonds (NDs) are widely applied across diverse industries due to their exceptional surface multifunctionality and chemical stability. Nevertheless, atomic-level manipulation of NDs presents considerable challenges, which require detailed structural analysis to thoroughly elucidate their properties.

The existing synthetic protocols for the direct functionalization of carbon-based nanomaterials often entail limitations due to their harsh reaction conditions, which require the use of high temperatures for extended periods. This study aims to overcome these limitations by developing mild and efficient synthetic protocols around 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. Beginning with the well-established azomethine ylide derivatization, we progress to the utilization of nitrile oxide, and of nitrone derivatives for the functionalization of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as well as of nanodiamonds (NDs).
