Facile In-Situ Preparation of Poly(Acrylic Acid)-Silver Nanocomposite Thin Films with Highly Dispersed Silver Nanoparticles

摘要

Here we present a facile and simple in-situ method for the preparation of poly(acrylic acid)-silver nanocomposite thin films with highly dispersed silver nanoparticles. From the various available methods to reduce Ag+ silver ions, the chemical method was chosen to generate silver nanoparticles in a poly(acrylic acid) matrix. The reducing reagent used in this study was the primary diamine, polyoxypropylenediamine, which reduced the silver ions and simultaneously hardened the poly(acrylic acid) via a cross-linking reaction. TEM images showed that the silver nanoparticles were well dispersed in the poly(acrylic acid) matrix condensed with polyoxypropylenediamine.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15421406.2012.710393
