Direct assembly of in situ templated CdSe quantum dots via crystalline lamellae structure of polyamide 66

摘要

A simple concept is proposed for templating in situ synthesised CdSe quantum dots (QDs) into an organised nano-pattern using the crystalline lamellae structure of polyamide 66 (PA66). The morphology obtained for PA66 and the hybrid material on Si/SiO _x solid substrate was characterised by means of atomic force microscope. Controlling the PA66 concentration in solution and the organic–inorganic interactions are found to be the keys factors to direct the assembly of CdSe QDs along the PA66 linear crystalline structure. This simple approach could be opened a new avenue for a large spectrum of innovative high-tech applications.
