Diamond is researched in biological context for decades. Fundamental research has established diamond as a material that combines a pronounced compatibility with biological entities and resilience against even the harshest chemical and physical conditions. The present dissertation strives to improve the abilities of diamond in this matter even further by utilizing methods of nanostructuring and biochemical functionalization. Numerous characterization methods are used to monitor each step in detail and to evaluate the benefit at any given time in the development process. In detail, the promising applications of thin diamond films as implant coating and biosensing platform are investigated.
