Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a nanocrystal-polydimethylsiloxane composite and a method for preparing the same. More specifically, provided are a nanocrystal-polydimethylsiloxane composite in which one or more polydimethylsiloxane derivatives having urea cross-links are bound to the surface of a nanocrystal, and a method for preparing the same. The nanocrystal-polydimethylsiloxane composite comprises optically transparent polydimethylsiloxane with remarkably high durability, thus imparting improved luminescence efficiency and product reliability to various electronic devices, when applied as a luminescent material to the electronic devices.
Abstract:
A semiconductor nanocrystal heterostructure has a core of a first semiconductor material surrounded by an overcoating of a second semiconductor material. Upon excitation, one carrier can be substantially confined to the core and the other carrier can be substantially confined to the overcoating.
Abstract:
A method for preparing a quantum dot-inorganic matrix composite includes preparing an inorganic matrix precursor solution containing one or more quantum dot precursors, spin-coating the precursor solution on a substrate to form an inorganic matrix thin film, and heating the inorganic matrix thin film to form an inorganic matrix, while growing the quantum dot precursors into quantum dots in the inorganic matrix, thereby yielding a quantum dot-inorganic matrix composite. The quantum dot-inorganic matrix composite thus obtained has a structure in which the quantum dots have a high efficiency and are densely filled in an inorganic matrix. The quantum dot-inorganic matrix composites can be prepared using a low temperature process, and can be used for various displays and electronic device material applications.

Abstract:
Tellurium-containing nanocrystallites are produced by injection of a precursor into a hot coordinating solvent, followed by controlled growth and annealing. Nanocrystallites may include CdTe, ZnTe, MgTe, HgTe, or alloys thereof. The nanocrystallites can photoluminesce with quantum efficiencies as high as 70%.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for effectively delivering an anticancer drug into cancer cells by binding the anticancer drug to pH-sensitive metal nanoparticles so as to be separated from cancer cells. The pH-sensitive metal nanoparticles according to the present invention may be heated by photothermal therapy, thereby effectively killing cancer cells in conjunction with the isolated anticancer drug.
