Amphiphilic polymer encapsulation of Cu2−xSe nanocrystals. Combining oleylamine passivated Cu2−xSe nanocrystals and the amphiphilic poly(maleic anhydride)-based polymer leads to encapsulation of the Cu2−xSe nanocrystals with a hydrophilic exterior. The distal carboxyl groups on the surface facilitate dispersibility in aqueous media.
