The invention provides a process for the production of a solid polymer with embedded luminescent nano particles, comprising (1) mixing luminescent nano particles with an outer surface coated with capping molecules comprising a first functional group and a second functional group and a precursor of a solid polymer, and (2) allowing the solid polymer to be formed; wherein the first functional group is configured to bind to the outer surface of the quantum dot and the second functional group is miscible with the precursor of the solid polymer and/or is able to react with the precursor of the solid polymer. The invention also provides a luminescent polymeric article comprising a solid polymer with in the polymer article embedded luminescent nano particles with an outer surface coated with capping molecules comprising a first functional group and a second functional group.
