Abstract
A method for stabilizing quantum dots is disclosed, wherein the method includes the introduction of a first monomer into a miniemulsion system. In certain embodiments, the first monomer is a crosslinking polymer. In certain embodiments, a second monomer is added to the system to stabilize the quantum dots. In addition, a method of increasing the brightness of the quantum dots by adding a redox initiator system at a low temperature to reduce fluorescence quenching is also disclosed.
