Bulk Synthesis of Transparent and Homogeneous Polymeric Hybrid Materials with ZnO Quantum Dots and PMMA

In situ sol‐gel polymerization is demonstrated for fabricating transparent poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)‐ZnO quantum dot (QD)‐ hybrid materials in bulk dimension. The transparent PMMA‐ZnO QD hybrid materials exhibit enhanced UV‐shielding effects in the entire UV range, even at concentrations as l...

Description
Summary:In situ sol‐gel polymerization is demonstrated for fabricating transparent poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)‐ZnO quantum dot (QD)‐ hybrid materials in bulk dimension. The transparent PMMA‐ZnO QD hybrid materials exhibit enhanced UV‐shielding effects in the entire UV range, even at concentrations as low as 0.02 wt %.
