Hydrophilic and hydrophobic quantum dots (QDs) including oleic acid (OA)-capped CdSe, thiodipropioyic acid (TDPA)-capped CdSe, and thioglycollic acid (TGA)-capped CdTe were incorporated into poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) fibers via an electrospinning method using a PVP ethanol solution with PVP weight ratio of 8% which was obtained by optimizing preparation conditions. The amounts of the QDs were adjusted to investigate the effect of QD surface state on the morphologies of fibers. The QDs retained their photoluminescence (PL) peak wavelengths in PVP solutions and fibers. The PVP fiber with aqueous CdTe QDs was fabricated by dispersing QDs in water while the hydrophobic ones were firstly dispersed in hexane. With increasing the amount of CdSe QDs, the PL intensity of the fibers was gradually enhanced. In addition, CdSe nanorods were characterized by evident unevenness and local enrichment in the fibers because of rod morphology and properties of TDPA ligand. The fiber surface was rather smooth and it almost had no wrinkles.
