Abstract
A general strategy is described which allows for transferring hydrophobically capped nanocrystals from organic to aqueous solution by wrapping an amphiphilic polymer around the particles. In particular, high quality CoPt3Au, CdSe/ZnS, and Fe2O3 nanocrystals have been water-solubilized in this way. Analysis with transmission electron microscopy, gel electrophoresis, and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy demonstrates that monodispersity of the particles is conserved upon phase transfer to aqueous solution. © 2024 by Jenny Stanford Publishing Pte.
