Abstract:
A facile and robust strategy is required to fabricate films with highly photoluminescent for application in the field of anti-counterfeit marking. Here we report a kind of multifunctional bio-nanocomposite film with CdTe quantum dots (QDs) decorated with cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs). In this work, CNFs were introduced as nanothin film matrix, and crosslinking modification with EDC/NHS through covalent binding was used to introduce the CdTe QDs to prepare the nanoscale TEMPO-CNF/CdTe QDs nanocomposite material with uniform distribution, controllable particle size and good photoelectric properties. The TEMPO-CNF/CdTe QDs films displayed high optical transmittance (>80%) over the entire range of visible light, high quantum yield (36.9%), large tensile strength (110.0 MPa) and good hydrophilicity (contact angles of approximately 30°). These results indicated that functional TEMPO-CNF/CdTe films material with the colorimetric identification and photoluminescence was constructed and successfully applied to the "Green" anti-counterfeit marking.

Dot Product
In engineering, the dot product of any two vectors is the product of the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them. It is denoted by a dot symbol between the two vectors.
Consider a vehicle pulling an object along the ground using a rope. If the rope makes an angle with the horizontal axis, the work done can be calculated using the dot product of the force applied and the object's displacement.
