Silicon Quantum Dots: Water‐Dispersible Silicon‐Quantum‐Dot‐Containing Micelles Self‐Assembled from an Amphiphilic Polymer (Part. Part. Syst. Charact. 7/2014)

Excellent dispersion of silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) in water is realized by combining the processes of hydrosilylation and self-assembly. As described by X. D. Pi and co-workers on page 751, the size of self-assembled Si QD micelles can be tuned from 10 to 100 nm. This image schematically shows red-light-emitting Si QDs contained in the water-dispersible micelles under ultraviolet illumination.
