Additively manufactured selective laser melted titanium (SLM-Ti) opens the possibility of tailored medical implants for patients. Despite orthopedic implant advancements, significant problems remain with regard to suboptimal osseointegration at the interface between the implant and the surrounding tissue. Here, we show that applying a nanodiamond (ND) coating onto SLM-Ti scaffolds provides an improved surface for mammalian cell growth while inhibiting colonization of bacteria. Owing to the simplicity of our methodology, the approach is suitable for coating SLM-Ti geometries. The ND coating achieved 32 and 29% increases in cell density of human dermal fibroblasts and osteoblasts, respectively, after 3 days of incubation compared with the uncoated SLM-Ti substratum. This increase in cell density complements an 88% reduction in detected on the ND-coated SLM-Ti substrata. This study paves a way to create facile antifouling SLM-Ti structures for biomedical implants.

Non-healing wounds are a serious complication in diabetic patients. One of the detrimental factors contributing to limited wound healing is the accumulation of metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in the wound. Selective inhibition of MMP-9 is one of the established therapeutic targets for diabetic wound healing.

The drilling of State-of-the-Art printed circuit boards (PCBs) often leads to shortened tool lifetime and low drilling accuracy due to improved strength of the PCB composites with nanofillers and higher thickness-to-hole diameter ratio. Diamond coatings have been employed to improve the tool lifetime and drilling accuracy, but the coated microdrills are brittle and suffer from coating delamination. To date, it is still difficult to deposit diamonds on ultrathin microdrills with diameters lower than 0.

Fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) are carbon-based nanomaterials that emit bright, photostable fluorescence and exhibit a modifiable surface chemistry. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are an immunosuppressive cell population known to expand in cancer patients and contribute to worse patient outcomes. To target MDSC, glycidol-coated FND were conjugated with antibodies against the murine MDSC markers, CD11b and GR1 (dual-Ab FND).

Emerging fields of quantum technologies and biomedical applications demand pure nanodiamonds (NDs) with well-defined surface chemistry. Therefore, an inexpensive, scalable and eco-friendly ND surface purification technology is required. In this study, we report our method, salt-coated air oxidation (SCAO) thermal annealing, to achieve uniform purification of a ND surface without the loss of diamond material.

Most breast implants currently used in both reconstructive and cosmetic surgery have a silicone outer shell, which, despite much progress, remains susceptible to mechanical failure, infection, and foreign body response. This study shows that the durability and biocompatibility of breast implant-grade silicone can be enhanced by incorporating carbon nanomaterials of sp and sp hybridization into the polymer matrix and onto its surface. Plasma treatment of the implant surface can be used to modify platelet adhesion and activation to prevent thrombosis, postoperative infection, and inflammation disorders.
