title: Cu2+ ion responsive solvent-free quantum dots.
abstract: Three quantum dots (QDs) nanofluids modified with different lengths of PEG chainsare synthesized, and the property-structure relationship of QDs nanofluids is established, to achieve QDs nanofluids with tunable fluidic or optical performance. Notably, the proposed QDs nanofluids demonstrate a selective response towards Cu(2+)-based on both fluorescence and contact angle.
