PG - 44-9 AB - We present a novel method to produce a PMMA-quantum-dot (QD) composite fabricated by pre-polymerization of PMMA and dispersing commercially available colloidal semiconductor QDs. The QDs are stabilized in rapidly formed oligomer matrices, and the complete polymerization of the PMMA-QD composite is achieved by commonly used polymerization. The properties of the PMMA-QD composite are measured and compared with the QDs in colloidal solution. Patterning of the PMMAQD composite by direct write electron beam shows its promising applications in optoelectronics.
