Transparent polymeric hybrid film of ZnO nanoparticle quantum dots and PMMA with high luminescence and tunable emission color

► ZnO nanoparticle QDs/PMMA composite is well dispersed in THF and shows high emissions. ► TPM acts as the stabilizer and promotes the compatibility between the ZnO nanoparticle QDs and the PMMA matrix. ► The hybrid film exhibited a high quantum yield and PL emission under ultraviolet excitation. ► PL emission has been successfully tuned from blue to yellow.
