Patent ID: 8562867

Claim:
A composition comprising: a nanostructure comprising an exterior surface wherein the nanostructure is a nanocrystal; and a matrix composition positioned proximal to the exterior surface of the nanostructure, wherein the matrix composition comprises a polymeric composition having the structure [T x -B y —H z ] n , wherein x, y, z and n independently comprise integers equal to or greater than 1, wherein B is a body structure comprising a conjugated organic moiety; wherein H is a head group coupled to the body structure at a first position on the conjugated organic moiety, wherein the head group comprises a functionalized head group capable of binding to a nanostructure surface or a head group bound to a nanostructure surface, wherein the functionalized head group comprises one or more carboxylic acid or amine moieties; and wherein T is a tail group comprising an alkyne moiety comprising between 3 and 22 carbon atoms and coupled to the body structure at a second position on the conjugated organic moiety.
