Surface-functionalized semiconducting nanoparticles in polymers: From self -assembly to functional materials

Seminconducting nanoparticles, also known as quantum dots or quantum rods depending on the shape, have unique optical and electronic properties. Polymers, on the other hand, have excellent processing properties. Therefore, it is desirable, in many cases, to integrate nanoparticles in polymers. The s...
