Indiscriminate adsorption of nanoparticles (NPs) significantly complicates the preparation of mesoscale NP patterns considered as enabling technology for many devices and processes. Instead of selected chemical functionalization of the substrate surface prior to the assembly of nanocolloids, the required optical

CdSe nanoparticles with polystyrene (PS) brushes are obtained by "grafting through" technique starting from solely aqueously synthesized nanoparticles. Mercaptoethanol (ME) capped nanoparticles are used to achieve double bond functional groups on the surface by condensation reaction with methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS). PS

Luminescent quantum dots were synthesized using bacterially derived selenide (Se(II-)) as the precursor. Biogenic Se(II-) was produced by the reduction of Se(IV) by Veillonella atypica and compared directly against borohydride-reduced Se(IV) for the production of glutathione-stabilized CdSe and β-mercaptoethanol-stabilized ZnSe
