Manipulation of semiconductor nanocrystal growth in polymer soft solids

Abstract

Polymers are demonstrated as an efficient medium to manipulate the size and fluorescence evolution of semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs). By tuning the nature of the polymers and the interactions between NCs and polymers, the growth rate of NCs could be controlled. This finding provides a new protocol for the design and fabrication of functional nanodevices.
