dc.description.abstractPolystyrene (PS) embedded ZnS QDs were prepared via thermolysis of the single source precursor, zincpyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (ZnPDTC). The in situ growth of 4–6 nm QDs was realized by thermaltreatment at 375°C and 475 °C at different durations, chosen to represent the rubbery and molten stateof the polymer matrix. The morphology of the PS/ZnPDTC nanocomposite film was evaluated using AFM.The growth kinetics was found to be faster at the polymer's molten state compared to its rubbery state.
