A fluorescent probe for detecting a tyrosine kinase using a compound having an ortho-hydroxy-benzaldehyde structure, and use thereof are provided. The fluorescent probe can show a change in fluorescence when the compound binds with a tyrosine kinase. The compound can be readily synthesized and has high stability and low cytotoxicity in vivo. The fluorescent probe can be used to image cells or tissues overexpressing the tyrosine kinase, the fluorescent probe can be effectively used in a composition for imaging the tissues and a method of imaging the tissues. Also, the fluorescent probe can be used to image cancer cells or tissues since the fluorescent probe can exhibit fluorescence when the fluorescent probe binds to the cancer cells or tissues overexpressing the tyrosine kinase.

The present invention relates to a surface modification method for improving the dispersion of nanoparticles, and to nanoparticles having improved dispersion properties prepared by the method. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method in which amphoteric compounds are bonded to the surfaces of nanoparticles to improve dispersion at the surfaces of nanoparticles. The present invention also relates to nanoparticles using the method. Both anions and cations are formed on the surfaces of the nanoparticles according to the present invention, and therefore the nanoparticles are electrically stable so as to achieve stability in a wide pH range, are stably dispersed in the event of a high concentration of salts, and the non-specific adsorption thereof is reduced. Novel specific substances or sensors having minimized non-specific adsorption may be produced using the nanoparticles of the present invention.

A method for preparing a quantum dot-inorganic matrix composite includes preparing an inorganic matrix precursor solution containing one or more quantum dot precursors, spin-coating the precursor solution on a substrate to form an inorganic matrix thin film, and heating the inorganic matrix thin film to form an inorganic matrix, while growing the quantum dot precursors into quantum dots in the inorganic matrix, thereby yielding a quantum dot-inorganic matrix composite. The quantum dot-inorganic matrix composite thus obtained has a structure in which the quantum dots have a high efficiency and are densely filled in an inorganic matrix. The quantum dot-inorganic matrix composites can be prepared using a low temperature process, and can be used for various displays and electronic device material applications.
