Abstract
Silver nanocomposites were synthesized by the electrochemical method in the matrix of a copolymer of 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole with methacrylic acid, by combining the process of electrochemical polymerization with cathodic precipitation of metals on metal electrodes. In the electronic spectra of nanocomposites, absorption bands appear with a maximum in the region of 417–421 nm, which is typical for systems with zero valence silver. The IR spectra show that the polymer structure hardly changes during the formation of nanocomposites and films. The presence of silver in the amorphous polymer phase is indicated by the results of X-ray diffraction studies. The silver content in nanocomposites is 0–9%, which leads to an increase in the viscosity of nanocomposite solutions compared to solutions of the initial copolymers. Transmission electron microscopy data show that the synthesized nanocomposites consist of particles with a diameter of 1–12 nm, predominantly spherical.
