Abstract

AbstractGold and silver nanoparticles of different size, decorated by a diacetylenic monomer having a COOH anchor group, were prepared in aqueous dispersions. Topochemical polymerization of the colloidal suspensions was obtained by UV irradiation and studied by means of spectroscopic techniques (UV–visible absorption, IR and Raman spectroscopies). A variety of polymer phases were found in the case of silver nanohybrids. The main contribution for this investigation was supplied by the Raman spectra, which provide detailed information on the polymer forms and on the preferred conformation of the alkylic side chains.
