Quantum dots are a unique class of semiconductor
particles, ranging from 2-10 nanometers (10-50 atoms) in
diameter. At these small sizes, materials behave
differently, giving quantum dots unprecedented tunability
and enabling applications to exploit unique properties at
the nanoscale.
The usefulness of quantum dots comes from their peak
emission frequency’s extreme sensitivity to both the dot’s
size and composition, which can be controlled using
Unique Technologies’ proprietary manufacturing
techniques, control over surfaces and ability to
incorporate the quantum dots in common matrix materials,
polymers and resins.
