The Engineering of Composite Materials Based on Nanodiamonds and Degradable Biopolymers

Abstract

Issues related to engineering and application of composites based on nanodiamonds and degradable polyhydroxyalkanoates are discussed. The ability of composite engineering is demonstrated on the 3-polyhydroxybutyrate microspheres – modified detonation nanodiamonds composite fabricated through the bimolecular nucleophilic addition (AdN2) reaction. It was shown that during 20-min incubation at acid pH from 70 to 150 μg of the nanoparticles can be immobilized on 1 mg of the microspheres depending on the components weight ratio
