Almost all applications of nanocrystals require the control of surface properties in respect of solubility, miscibility, biocompatibility, passivation of surface states as well as electronic and magnetic interaction with the environment. We will show various examples for ligand exchange and encapsulation of quantum dots, plasmonic and magnetic nanocrystals. As a result, we will present smart nanocomposite materials with outstanding mechanical properties and switchable functionality as well as nanocrystals with adjustable bioresponse.
