PET-RAFT polymerization catalyzed by cadmium selenide quantum dots (QDs): <i>Grafting-from</i> QDs photocatalysts to make polymer nanocomposites

Abstract

We report herein the first example of light-controlled radical reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization facilitated by cadmium selenide quantum dots and the <italic>grafting-from</italic> CdSe QDs to create polymer-QDs nanocomposites.
