Abstract


Designing and application of composites based on nanodiamonds and biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates are discussed. As an example, 3-polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) microspheres - modified detonation nanodiamonds (MDND) composite was obtained by the bimolecular nucleophilic addition reaction (AdN2 type). It is shown that at acid pH from 70 up to 150 mg MDND can be immobilized on 1 mg of biopolymer microspheres depending on the weight ratio of the components.
