Abstract
A procedure was developed for the single-step synthesis of a metal–polymer nanocomposite based on silver nanoparticles and second-pseudogeneration superbranched polyester functionalized along the periphery with 3-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]propionate. Under the conditions of the synthesis in the medium of H2O or DMSO, hyperbranched polyester decorated with ethylenediamine moieties can act as both a reductant of the nanoscale silver state and a stabilizer of it. The synthesized composite nanomaterial is formed by aggregates of hyperbranched polyester polyamine doped with Ag(0) nanoclusters and nanoparticles of spheroidal symmetry with a face-centered cubic crystal lattice. The hydrodynamic diameter of aggregates and the diameter of particles increase with increasing molar ratioand are 34–90 and 7–14 nm, respectively.
