Quantum Dot: Shell cross-linking endows stability: Simple and facile cross-linking chemistry was employed to form the robust network shell on the quantum dot (QD) surface without altering the photoluminescence property of pristine QDs. The resulting shell cross-linked QDs exhibited exceptional tolerance against heat or chemical oxidations. And the exterior brush in QDs can be readily tunable and provide the miscibility with host polymer matrix, resulting in well-defined QD-nanocomposite films. This encapsulation strategy can be generally applicable to many other nanoparticles that are vulnerable to various external stimuli.
