Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, we reported a new method to fabricate CdTe quantum dots (CdTe QDs), which were synthesized in aqueous solution using thioglycolic acid and L‐phenylalanine (L‐Phe) as costabilizing agent. Then, they were transferred into organic phase with the assistance of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) for further utilization. Finally, we use toluene diisocyanate as a bridge between CdTe QDs and polyacrylate (CPA), whose side chain has hydroxyl group, to synthesize a fluorescent composite polymer CdTe‐CPA. In addition, we synthesized an organic substance 4‐[2,4‐di(tert‐butyl)]phenoxy‐N‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐1,8‐naphthalimide (N), and obtained 1,8‐naphthahmide fluorescent polymer N‐CPA in the same way as it did on CdTe‐CPA. The resulting materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and photoluminescence (PL). Then, we studied the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between CdTe‐CPA and N‐CPA. The data obtained from absorption and fluorescence emission spectral indicated that the FRET from N‐CPA to CdTe‐CPA could be efficiently triggered in the solution of chloroform. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
