The first and only book of its kind, \u003ci\u003eFluorescent Nanodiamonds\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive guide to the basic science and technical information needed to fully understand the fundamentals of FNDs and their potential applications across an array of domains. In demonstrating the importance of FNDs in biological applications, the authors bring together all relevant chemistry, physics, materials science and biology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNanodiamonds are produced by powerful cataclysmic events such as explosions, volcanic eruptions and meteorite impacts. They also can be created in the lab by high-pressure high-temperature treatment of graphite or detonating an explosive in a reactor vessel. A single imperfection can give a nanodiamond a specific, isolated color center which allows it to function as a single, trapped atom. Much smaller than the thickness of a human hair, a nanodiamond can have a huge surface area that allows it to bond with a variety of other materials. Because of their non-toxicity, nanodiamonds may be useful in biomedical applications, such as drug delivery and gene therapy. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe most comprehensive reference on a topic of rapidly increasing interest among academic and industrial researchers across an array of fields\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes numerous case studies and practical examples from many areas of research and industrial applications, as well as fascinating and instructive historical perspectives\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEach chapter addresses, in-depth, a single integral topic including the fundamental properties, synthesis, mechanisms and functionalisation of FNDs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe first book published by the key patent holder with his research group in the field of FNDs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFluorescent Nanodiamonds\u003c\/i\u003e is an important working resource for a broad range of scientists and engineers in industry and academia.
