Abstract
Silver nanoparticles synthesized in polymer solutions are studied by spectroscopy (in near ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectral regions) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. It is established that the ensemble with bimodal particle size distribution is formed from initially polydisperse nanoparticle ensemble in methylhydroxy ethyl cellulose solution. In contrast to the classical scheme of the ripening of colloidal dispersions, the number of small particles increases with time in the studied system; moreover, particles with a size of about 2 nm turned out to be stable. The large particles grow with time and their concentration drops.
