Abstract

New water-soluble functional polymer nanocomposites with nanoparticles of metallic silver in a matrix of 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole copolymers with crotonic acid have been synthesized. The resulting nanocomposites contain isolated silver nanoparticles 2–12 nm in diameter, preferably spherical in shape, and uniformly distributed in the polymer matrix. ATR IR spectroscopy has revealed that the nanoparticles affect the state of the carboxyl groups in the polymer matrix. It has been found that the size of zero-valent silver nanoparticles depends on the ratio of monomer units in the polymer matrix. The thermo-oxidative stabilities of the synthesized copolymers and polymer nanocomposites produced on their basis have been examined.
