Chemical, Electrochemical, and Biological Applications

1) cause much less fibroses than analogous parts treated with silicon. Furthermore, the long-term stabihty in body fluids like blood or seram is significantly increased for diamond as compared to other materials. 

By now an immobihzation on diamond films succeeded for several biologically active structures like DNA-fragments, oligonucleotides, peptides, enzymes, etc. AH of them were proven to retain their activity also in the bound state by showing their respective interaction in suitable test systems. Apart from biological moieties, also catalysts or other reagents may be connected to diamond films. Many studies 

The content of boron amounts to about 10 cm, resulting in a specific resistance of less than 0.1 Qcm. UltrananocrystaUine diamond films also suit well to coating electrodes. Even at a low thickness of layers a complete and dense covering of the support is achieved, and the coating of unevenly shaped electrodes is easier.
