Abstract
A method is described for the ion synthesis of silver nanoparticles in epoxy resin that is in a viscousfluid state (viscosity 30 Pa s) during irradiation. The viscous-fluid or glassy polymer is implanted by 30-keV silver ions at a current density of 4 μA/cm2 in the ion beam in the dose range 2.2 × 1016–7.5 × 1016 ions/cm2. The epoxy layers thus synthesized contain silver nanoparticles, which are studied by transmission electron microscopy and optical absorption spectroscopy. The use of the viscous-fluid state increases the diffusion coefficient of the implanted impurity, which stimulates the nucleation and growth of nanoparticles at low implantation doses and allows a high factor of filling of the polymer with the metal to be achieved.
