COVALENT LINKING OF SEMICONDUCTOR NANOCRYSTALS TO AMINO-FUNCTIONALIZED SURFACES

摘要

A new method for modifying substrate surfaces has been developed: preliminarily aminated substrates of various compositions and shapes are linked with water soluble high luminescing CdTe nanocrystals through the formation of an amide bond between the carboxylic groups of mercaptoacid-capped nanocrystals and the amino groups of the substrates.
