Polymer-nanocrystals composite materials have attracted much attention for combining the advantage of both the organic and inorganic materials
the polymer provides an inert environment for the formation and growth of the nanocrystals
and nanocrystals in return enhance the performance of the polymer.Such as the TiO2-triethoxysilanecapped polythiourethane (TCPTU) composite optical films
the films not only retained the origin properties but also achieved a high refractive index.Besides
there are lots of different polymer-nanocrystals composite materials such as PDMAA/ZnS
PbS/PTU nanocomposites.The organic-inorganic materials could also be used to prepare the high performance photoluminescence materials besides the high refractive optical films.CdTe nanocrystals covered with negative charge could be transferred from water to organic solvent through the electrostatic force.At last
through radical polymerization
the bulk materials with a uniform distribution of the nanocrystals could be obtained.In turn
polymer could be used as a friend media to control the growth of the CdTe nanocrystals and realize the precise control and the performance optimization.The luminescent color under the UV light could be controlled by changing the size of the nanocrystals.What's more
as a kind of functional polymer
PPV precursor could be combined with CdTe nanocrystals to prepare pure white-light composite materials and also high performance photovoltaic devices.
