Cyclodextrin modified quantum dots with tunable liquid-like behaviour.
Supermolecular quantum dots (QDs) nanofluids have been firstly proposed and synthesized by virtue of the strong inclusion interactions between α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains, resulting in tunable liquid-like behaviour, and controllable assembly of single QDs.
