This strong demand for the colloidal QDs arises because of their favorable optical and electronic properties. From the application points of view, QDs typically need to be used in their solid form, as opposed to their as-synthesized dispersion form. For immobilization of QDs and homogeneity of their films, various polymers have been used to host QDs within solid media. However, the integration of QDs into a polymeric medium is commonly complex, which requires a high level of understanding to provide optical quality. © 2012 IEEE.EnglishCd-freeNanocrystal quantum dotsOptical and electronic propertiesOptical membranesOptical qualitiesSolid formsSolid mediaStrong demandElectronic propertiesPolymersSemiconductor quantum dotsPhotonicsConference Paper10.1109/IPCon.2012.6358700
