  4. Abstract:
  5. Recently, nanodiamonds have attracted interest in biomedical applications such as drug delivery, targeted cancer therapies, fabrication of tissue scaffolds, and biosensors. We incorporated diamond nanoparticles in alginate-bioactive glass films by electrophoretic process to prepare functional coatings for biomedical implants. Turbidity examination by time-resolved laser transmittance measurement revealed that a stable multi-component aqueous suspension of alginate, bioactive glass and diamond particles could be obtained at concentrations of 0.6, 1.3, and 0.65 g/l, respectively. Uniform films with ~ 5 μm thickness were deposited on 316 stainless steel foils by employing constant field strength of 15 V/cm for 45 s. Scanning electron microscopy and simultaneous thermal analysis showed that the composite films were homogeneous and contained ~ 39 wt.% inorganic particles. In vitro bioactivity assessment in simulated body fluid for 4 weeks and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay using human osteoblast-like cell line (MG-63) and mouse fibroblast cell line (L929) exhibited enhanced biocompatibility and bioactivity of the composite films. Results show advantages of alginate-nanodiamonds in cell culture, tissue engineering, and pharmaceutical applications
