A first electrophoretic medium comprises an electrically charged particle suspended in a suspending fluid, the particle having a polymeric shell having repeating units derived from at least one monomer the homopolymer of which is incompatible with the suspending fluid. A second, similar electrophoretic medium comprises a suspending fluid, and first and second types of electrically charged particle suspended in the suspending fluid, the two types of particle having differing optical characteristics but both having polymeric shells. The polymeric shells are arranged such that homoaggregation of the two types of particles is thermodynamically favored over heteroaggregation.

Polymer composite films were prepared by solvent casting suspensions of quantum dots (QDs) in cellulose triacetate (CTA) solution. The films were robust and possessed the optical properties characteristic of QDs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of the films revealed that the QDs were well dispersed within the CTA film matrix. The selective alkaline hydrolysis of QD/CTA films in 0.1N NaOH over 24 hours resulted in the surface conversion of CTA to regenerated cellulose. Optical properties of the films were probed both before and after the hydrolysis reaction using fluorescence spectroscopy, and were found generally unaltered. The cellulose surfaces of the alkaline treated films allow for facile incorporation of the films into paper sheets.

The invention belongs to the technical field of the preparation methods of the nanomaterials and specifically discloses a method for preparing water-soluble fluorescent silicon quantum dots by using a hydrothermal process. The method comprises the steps of firstly introducing an amino silane and a reducing agent into a solvent in which nitrogen is introduced and mixing, continuing introducing the nitrogen for protection for a while, next, transferring to a hydrothermal reaction kettle, and heating for reacting for a while, thereby obtaining the fluorescent silicon quantum dots having excellent chemical properties. The method has the advantages of low raw material cost due to the adoption of the amino silane as a silicon source, simple operation steps, direction synthesis in water phase, easy large-scale production, and being green and environment; the obtained quantum dots have high quantum yield and excellent chemical characteristics, and are small in particle size, evenly in distribution, non-toxic, good in biocompatibility and acid resistance; besides, the quantum dots have pH sensitive characteristic in a certain range, and can be widely applied to the biochemical and biomedical sensing fields such as biochemical detection, drug analysis, cell and living imaging and targeting tracing and also can be used as photovoltaic conversion and light-emitting display materials.

Multilayered structures formed from two or more polymeric layers are fabricated to obtain a single structure preferably having advantages of each of the separate layers. Polyolefin-based substrates can provide a layer with a good balance of stiffness and impact resistance, excellent processability, and relatively lower cost. Tie layers, preferably physically positioned adjacent a polyolefin-based substrate layer, facilitates adhering additional layer(s) together with the polyolefin-based substrate. Suitable tie layers generally include a multicomponent blend of at least one vinyl cyanide-containing component and at least one styrenic block copolymer component. Preferably, the additional layers include at least one acrylate-based cap layer, which can have a glossy, scratch resistance outer layer with excellent optical characteristics.
