Abstract
Photochemical synthesis of gold nanoparticles in aqueous dispersions of carboxylated polystyrene with microsphere sizes of 100, 300, 500, and 1410 nm under the action of monochromatic light with an excitation wavelength of 254 nm was studied. Preliminary irradiation of the polymer dispersion induces formation of gold particles under dark conditions. Dependences of gold nanoparticles formation on the duration of preliminary polymer irradiation and concentration of introduced HAuCl4 aqueous solution were determined. A mechanism of the polystyrene-assisted formation of gold nanoparticles was proposed. The size and structure of gold nanoparticles were determined.
