Efficient Energy Funneling in Spatially Tailored Segmented Conjugated Block Copolymer Nanofiber-Quantum Dot or Rod Conjugates.

Hybrid systems composed of conjugated polymers and inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals such as quantum dots (QDs) and nanorods (QRs) represent highly desirable multifunctional materials for applications from energy harvesting to light emission and sensing. Herein, we describe energy transfer studies between low-dispersity segmented conjugated polymer micellar nanofibers integrated with quantum dots that are spatially confined to discrete regions in the hybrid assembly via noncovalent interactions. The nanofibers were prepared from diblock copolymers with a crystallizable poly(di-
