AbstractA comprehensive review is presented on the advances achieved in past years on fundamental and applied materials science of diamond films and engineering to integrate them into new generations of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). Specifically, the review focuses on describing the fundamental science performed to develop thin film synthesis processes and the characterization of chemical, mechanical, tribological and electronic properties of microcrystalline diamond, nanocrystalline diamond and ultrananocrystalline diamond films technologies, and the research and development focused on the integration of the diamond films with other film-based materials. The review includes both theoretical and experimental work focused on optimizing the films synthesis and the resulting properties to achieve the best possible MEMS/NEMS devices performance to produce new generation of MEMS/NEMS external environmental sensors and energy generation devices, human body implantable biosensors and energy generation devices, electron field emission devices and many more MEMS/NEMS devices, to produce transformational positive impact on the way and quality of life of people worldwide.

Porphyrins and phthalocyanines feature strong light absorption, capacity for metal chelation, and a track record of use in human therapeutic applications. Various conjugates and formulations of these macrocycles have shown potential to forge new applications in the biomedical sciences. Our lab has explored several such approaches including porphyrin polymer hydrogels, porphyrin-lipid nanovesicles, and surfactant-stripped micelles. These all feature in common a high density of tetrapyrroles, as well as unique functional properties. Porphyrin polymer hydrogels with high porphyrin density and bright fluorescence emission were demonstrated for use as a new class of implantable biosensors. Porphyrin-lipid nanovesicles hold potential for phototherapy, imaging, and also drug and vaccine delivery. Surfactant-stripped micelles have been developed for high-contrast photoacoustic imaging. In this ICPP Young Investigator Award brief perspective, we discuss our own efforts on these fronts. Taken together, the results show that tetrapyrroles enable new approaches for tackling biomedical problems and also confirm what was already well-known to members of the Society of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines: that these molecules are remarkably versatile and enable research to flow in unexpected directions.
