Abstract
Detonation nanodiamonds have 4-5 nm size primary particles, stable inert core, high surface area and tunable surface structures. They are very attractive from pharmaceutical point of view as a drug delivery vehicle. Nitrogen impurity like defect in detonation nanodiamonds structure are absorbed light at wavelengths of visible, infrared or ultraviolet spectral region, and emit bright fluorescence. This allows their use as agent for imaging biological processes and tracking treatment approaches.
