Recently, the fabrication of CdSe nanoplatelets became an important research topic. Nanoplatelets are often described as having a similar electronic structure as two-dimensional quantum wells and are promoted as colloidal quantum wells with monolayer precision width. In this paper we show that nanoplatelets are not ideal quantum wells, but cover depending on the size: the strong confinement reg...

The preparation of polymer-based nanocomposites requires considerable time (i.e., the dispersal nanomaterials into a polymer matrix), resulting in difficulties associated with their commercial use. In this study, two simple and efficient dispersion methods, namely planetary centrifugal mixing three-roll milling, were used to enable graphene nanoplatelets disperse uniformly throughout an epoxy s...
