Abstract:
This invention provides novel nanofiber enhanced surface area substrates and structures comprising such substrates, as well as methods and uses for such substrates.
Abstract:
Highly luminescent nanostructures, particularly highly luminescent quantum dots, are provided. The nanostructures have high photoluminescence quantum yields and in certain embodiments emit light at particular wavelengths and have a narrow size distribution. The nanostructures can comprise ligands, including C5-C8 carboxylic acid ligands employed during shell formation and/or dicarboxylic or polycarboxylic acid ligands provided after synthesis. Processes for producing such highly luminescent nanostructures are also provided, including methods for enriching nanostructure cores with indium and techniques for shell synthesis.
Abstract:
Quantum-dot binding ligands with silsesquioxane moieties are provided. The quantum-dot binding ligands include a multiplicity of amine or carboxy binding ligands in combination with silsesquioxane moieties providing improved stability for the ligated quantum dots. The ligands and coated nanostructures of the present invention are useful for close packed nanostructure compositions, which can have improved quantum confinement and/or reduced cross-talk between nanostructures.
Abstract:
Porous nanofiber bearing substrate materials are provided having enhanced surface area for a variety of applications including as electrical substrates, semipermeable membranes and barriers, structural lattices for tissue culturing and for composite materials, and the like.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a solventless ligand exchange using a siloxane polymer having a binding ligand that displaces the binding ligand on a quantum dot material.
Abstract:
Siloxane polymer ligands for binding to quantum dots are provided. The polymers include a multiplicity of amine or carboxy binding ligands in combination with long-alkyl chains providing improved stability for the ligated quantum dots. The ligands and coated nanostructures of the present invention are useful for close packed nanostructure compositions, which can have improved quantum confinement and/or reduced cross-talk between nano structures.
