Tetramer is pleased to introducing a new product line based on Tetramer’s perfluorocyclobutyl (PFCB) polymer
technology. As researchers in the field of nanomaterials, we are well aware of the challenges in obtaining
homogeneous dispersions in a host matrix. TetramerNDM is a superior host for many types of nanoparticles
when optical clarity is a must. Please contacts us for more information.
Highlights of our work:
- Enabling solid state white lighting through the
conversion of a UV LED using CdSe quantum dots.
The use of PFCB polymer allowed the loading levels of
nanocrystals to increase from <2% to over 15%.[5]
- Quantum dot loading levels greater than 40 wt %
without agglomeration.
- Quantum yields in Tetramer’s polymer remain between
80 and 100% of the quantum yield in solution.
- Nominal quenching of quantum dots which do not have
shells.
- Dispersions of nanotubes at 40 wt% loading levels
while maintaining trasparency
- Mn:ZnS
- Mn:ZnSe
- Ln:CaF2
- Ln:LaF3
- Carbon nanotubes
Application Areas
- Solid State Lighting
- LCD Backlighting
- Solar Cells Energy Harvesting
- Optical Amplifiers
