Abstract: Side-chain imidazolium-functionalized random copolymer P(MMEIM+Cl--co-St) was synthesized by free-radical copolymerization of 1-methyl-3-(2-methacryloyloxy ethyl) imidazolium chloride(MMEIM+Cl-) and styrene(St) with azodiisobutyrounitrile(AIBN) as initiator. The structure of random copolymer was characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR and GPC analyses. By the electrostatic interaction between positively charged imidazolium-functionalized P(MMEIM+Cl--co-St) and the negatively charged aqueous CdTe quantum dots(QDs), fluorescent nanocrystal-polymer composites CdTe/P(MMEIM+Cl--co-St) were prepared conveniently. UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescence(PL) spectra indicated the photochemical stability and strong fluorescent emission of CdTe/P(MMEIM+Cl--co-St) composites. The transmission electron microscopy(TEM) photograph shows that the CdTe QDs in composites are monodisperse, uniform and no significant surface deterioration or aggregation of the QDs occurred during the composite synthesis.
