Multiplexed nanobarcodes have been prepared with quantum dots (QDs) and alternating amphiphilic copolymers consisting of hydrocarbons and maleic anhydride groups. In homogeneous solution, the QD-polymer complexes grow epitaxially into nanobeads of narrow size dispersity, which has been previously achieved only for micrometer-sized beads in the presence of solid supports. As a result of this new nanostructure formation mechanism, more than 250 QDs can be loaded into a nanobead of 100 nm in diamet ...[more]
