摘要
We reported controllable synthesis of US nanocrystal-polymer transparent hybrids by using polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) as a polymer matrix. In a typical run, the appropriate amounts of cadmium chloride (CdCl2) and sodium sulfide (Na2S) in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol (ME) as the organic ligand are well dispersed in H2O/DMF solution without any aggregation. From a combination of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a computing method of Brus's model according UV-vis absorption spectra, the particle size of as-prepared hydroxyl-coated US nanocrystal was determined to be about 5 nm. Then, with the surface treatment with methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS), CdS-PMMA hybrids were obtained via free radical polymerization in situ. FT-IR characterization indicates the formation of robust bonding between CdS nanocrystals and the organic ligand and the formation of double-bond functional US nanocrystals. The TGA measurement displays CdS-PMMA hybrids possess better thermal stability compared with pure PMMA polymer. The fluorescence measurement shows that US nanocrystals and CdS-PMMA hybrids exhibit good optical properties. Also, the luminescent photographs taken under ultraviolet light prove the luminescence properties. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
