Optical characterization of the QD-loaded PSMPs. (a) Emission spectra of the CdSe/CdS-QDs dispersed in hexane and the QD-loaded PSMPs obtained by the polymerization and swelling procedures, respectively; (b) PLQY and (c) Schematic display of the synthesis routes leading to the respective PSMPs. The offset from zero of the red spectrum can be explained by scattering effects.
