The present disclosure is directed to methods of removing proteins, including cytokines, from blood and blood products, the methods comprising contacting the blood or blood product with a form of carbon having high graphitic contents and slit-shaped mesopores and macropores, the pore size dimensions chosen to be comparable to the size of the proteins, wherein the contacting results in the removal of high levels of the protein from the blood or blood product in minutes or hours.

Methods of using graphine nanoplatelets or polymer-derived ceramic carbide-derived carbon to remove proteins from blood and to treat sepsis

Methods for disaggregating nanodiamond clusters, for example, by using ultrasound to break apart nanodiamond aggregates in a sodium chloride aqueous slurry. Compositions, such as aqueous nanodiamond dispersions and dry particulate compositions that may be produced using these methods.

Salt-assisted ultrasonic disaggregation of nanodiamond

The present invention is directed to methods of disaggregating nanodiamond clusters, especially those clusters typically produced from detonation syntheses, the nanodiamond particles and dispersions produced from these disaggregation processes, and compositions derived from these nanodiamond particles and dispersions.

Disaggregation of aggregated nanodiamond clusters

This invention relates to novel applications for alliform carbon, useful in conductors and energy storage devices, including electrical double layer capacitor devices and articles incorporating such conductors and devices. Said alliform carbon particles are in the range of 2 to about 20 percent by weight, relative to the weight of the entire electrode. Said novel applications include supercapacitors and associated electrode devices, batteries, bandages and wound healing, and thin-film devices, including display devices.

Applications for alliform carbon

The present invention includes a composition for implantation in a patient, comprising surface-functionalized nanodiamonds and at least one biodegradable biocompatible polymer. The present invention also includes a surgical fixation device for use in a patient.
