Design, fabrication and modification of functionalized quantum dots/polymer composites toward practical applications are one of the paramount subjects in a variety of optoelectronic technologies. Major challenge discourages the viable applications is the poor compatibility between quantum dots and polymer. Herein, based on the guidance of modifying the quantum dot surfaces to overcome the poor compatibility, we have designed the multiscale fabrication method to obtain high compatibility quantum-dots/polymer materials. Through taking advantages of the effective strategies such as frontal polymerization, microfluidic techniques and electrostatic spinning, we construct ordered PVK-co-PGMA/CdTe quantum dots fluorescent polymer nanowires, single-crystalline ZnTe nanorods with high blue fluorescence, polyvinylpyrrolidone/CdS fluorescent polymer microfiber arrays, bifunctional magnetic-fluorescent responsive Janus microspheres, functional fluorescent bulk hydrogel and the CdSe quantum dots based microreactors constructed by microfluidic spinning technology. Considering of these remarkable achievements together with high quantum yield, long stability, high fluorescence, and controllable fabrication, we successfully realize the practical applications including LED devices, displays, labeling and doctors.
