Synthesis of White Light Emitting Water-soluble CdZnS Quantum Dots at Room Temperature
Abstract: Water-soluble alloyed CdZnS quantum dots (QDs) have been successfully prepared at room temperatures by reacting a mixture of Cd(CH3COO)2 and Zn(CH3COO)2 with Na2S using thiolactic acid (TLA) as a surface capping agent. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the alloyed QDs are determined on the basis of the Cd2+/Zn2+ molar ratio, reaction pH, intrinsic Cd2+and Zn2+reactivities toward Na2S and the concentration of capping agent. A systematic blue shift in emission wavelength …

Polycarbonate/ABS Alloys: Production, Testing and Applications—An Overview
Abstract: The commercial production of polycarbonate (PC) began in 1958; the commercialization of the polycarbonate/ABS blends started in 1977. The incorporation of ABS to PC minimizes its drawbacks without altering its superior mechanical properties. Blending of PC and ABS also generates other useful characteristics i.e. glossiness and low temperature toughness. Blending of both the polymers is being carried out in a twin-screw extruder or in a common solvent like Tetrahydrofuran (THF).Nowadays …
