Synthesis of Poly(vinyl alcohol)-Silver Nanocomposites and Effect of CTAB on their Morphology
Nacre-like film of silver-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA-water soluble biologically friendly polymer) nanocomposites is prepared via chemical reduction method, using tyrosine as a catalytic and reducing agent. Preparing of silver-PVA ordered layered nanocomposites by this method is done for the first time. The Ag- nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, which shows an ab... view moreĀ»
