Polymer nanocomposites are revolutionizing material engineering by blending the inherent strengths of polymers with the remarkable properties of nanoparticles. These composite structures unlock a realm of possibilities, enabling us to create materials that are stronger, lighter, electronically active, and even adaptive. The integration of nanopart
Lead Selenide Quantum Dots: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications
Lead selenide quantum dots (QDs) are a type of II-VI nanostructure that exhibit exceptional optical and electronic properties. Their synthesis typically involves hot injection methods, allowing for precise control over size and shape. The unique tunable nature of these QDs leads to a strong dependence of their band gap on diameter, resulting in nar
