The invention provides a process for the production of a (particulate) luminescent material comprising particles, especially substantially spherical particles, having a porous inorganic material core with pores, especially macro pores, which are at least partly filled with a polymeric material with luminescent quantum dots embedded therein, wherein the process comprises (i) impregnating the particles of a particulate porous inorganic material with pores with a first liquid ("ink") comprising the luminescent quantum dots and a curable or polymerizable precursor of the polymeric material, to provide pores that are at least partly filled with said luminescent quantum dots and curable or polymerizable precursor; and (ii) curing or polymerizing the curable or polymerizable precursor within pores of the porous material, as well as a product obtainable thereby. |
