Surface functionalization of boron-doped diamond

Diamond display some of the most extreme physical properties even though its practical use in science and engineering has been restricted due its scarcity and expense. With the recent developments of techniques for the deposition of thin films of diamond on various substrates, it is now possible to explore these superior properties in various exciting applications.In this book, we have contributed to the development of easy, controllable and specific surface functionalization methods for the introduction of different functional groups on the diamond surface. These methods are based on chemical, photochemical, and electrochemical concepts.
