Colloidal nanocrystals are of interest for sensing technology. At present, nanocrystals with desired quality and processibility are two key materials-related obstacles for such applications. This talk will deal with the processibility of colloidal nanocrystals by understanding ligand chemistry of colloidal nanocrystals. The fundamental understanding will then be used as the guidelines for the rational design of organic ligands of nanocrystals.
