does it degrade the polymers ?

Kindly go through this article:

Direct synthesis of carbon quantum dots in aqueous polymer solution: one-pot reaction and preparation of transparent UV-blocking films, J. Mater. Chem. A, 2017,5, 5187-5194

Dear Nagendar Selvakumar ,

The polymer will not going to degrade because the method protocol follow by author in the article: Synthesis and characterization of quantum dot–polymer composites, J. Mater. Chem., 2009, 19, 3198–3206 ; are as follow:

"QD were also encapsulated into two other commercially available polymers: cyanoacrylate and two-part epoxy. In a typical procedure used in this study, 2 mL of QDs dissolved in a chloroform solution (OD ¼ 0.5) was mixed vigorously with 2 mL of a polymer solution at room temperature. The curing of the composites was performed at room temperature for several hours "

So since curing of composite was perform at room temperature there will be no chance for degradation of polymer.

Best Wishes
