Abstract

A poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogel as a solid matrix for the physical immobilization of CdTe quantum dots (QD) was analyzed. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra was shown for the CdTe/PNIPAM gels at different temperatures, from 25.0 to 41.1 °C. The resulting hydrogels were highly photoluminescent and their PL QYs were enhanced. It was shown that both the fluorescent intensities and the maximum emission wavelengths were sensitive to external temperature stimuli, and were reversible.
