Abstract
ABSTRACTWe present in‐situ formation of metal nanoparticle/acrylic polymer hybrid and its application to prepare hybrid latex particles by miniemulsion polymerization. On the surface of a silver nanoparticle/silica nanoparticle/acrylic polymer hybrid layer formed in‐situ on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, a copper film is deposited using electroless copper deposition. Silver nanoparticles, which are formed in‐situ via the reduction of silver ion by radical species and subsequent annealing, work as a catalyst for the electroless deposition. Miniemulsion polymerization via the in‐situ formation of nanoparticles affords nanoparticle/acrylic polymer hybrid latex particles and polymer particles. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.
