Tunable photo-luminescent properties of novel transparent CdSe-QD/silicone nanocomposites

► Multifunctional transparent CdSe-QD/silicone nanocomposites are prepared. ► CdSe-QDs were uniformly dispersed in a transparent silicone resin. ► The transparent silicone nanocomposites could emit multi-color visible lights with a broad peak wavelength range.
