Abstract

In this work cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTeQDs) were prepared via one-pot synthesis microwave assisted. Afterwards, CdTeQDs/silica (SiO2)/nigrosine (nigro)/poly (styrene co-methyl methacrylate) (PSCMM) fluorescent nanocomposite (CSNP) powders were prepared via ultrasonic treatment and post drying at 60 °C. The samples were characterized by UV–vis absorbance, x-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Finally, successful printing tests were performed on security paper at 130 °C. These results show the potential of this nanocomposite to be used as security toner. This printing toner configuration is reported for first time.
