The enzymatic synthesis of thiol-containing polymers to prepare polymer-CdS nanocomposites

摘要

Thiol-containing polymers are enzymatically synthesized in the microstructured encironment of reversed micelles. CdS semiconductor nanocrystallites, also synthesized in the water pools of reversed micelles, are then attached to these polymers through binding to the sulfhydryl groups. The polymer-CdS nanocomposite thus prepared exhibits luminescence characteristic of such quantum dot particles.
