Abstract
Photochemical deposition of silver nanoparticles in poly(butyl acrylate) and poly(butadiene-styrene) under the action of monochromatic UV light (254 nm) was studied. Changes in the polymer structure in the course of photolysis were revealed and analyzed. A mechanism of formation of silver nanoparticles was suggested. Electron microscopic examination showed that the efficiency of the particle formation is determined by the residual moisture content of the polymer films. Physicomechanical properties (tensile strength and relative elongation) of the elastomer films containing silver nanoparticles were studied.
