Covalent bonding of grafted polymer brushes of poly(poly(ethylene glycol) monomethacrylate) on surface of silicon quantum dots and the activation of the end hydroxyls

A technique of covalent bonding of grafted polymer brushes of poly(poly(ethylene glycol) monomethacrylate) (P(PEGMA)) on the surface of silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) and activation of the end hydroxyls with N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) esters were described in this work in detail. Firstly, a Si/SiQDs s...
