Transparent and Light-Emitting Epoxy Nanocomposites Filled with Dodecylamine-Capped CdSe Quantum Dots

Article Preview

Abstract:

An effective approach was used to disperse CdSe quantum dots (QDs) into epoxy matrix and prepare highly transparent luminescent CdSe–epoxy nanocomposites. Dodecylamine-capped CdSe QDs were obtained through self-assembly of carbon chains of as-synthesized QDs and dodecylamine. It was found that dodecylamine-capped CdSe QDs demonstrate a homogeneous dispersion within epoxy matrix, thus the prepared CdSe–epoxy nanocomposites expressed transparence in the visible region and also light-emitting.
