In this study, gold/copolymer core−shell nanocomposites as a new metal-polymer composite have been obtained by in situ polymerization. During the polymerization, gold nanoparticles were highly stabilized throughout the copolymer matrix. Fabricated nanocomposites have been characterized by UV-Visible, and Attenuated total reflection -Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectrophotometry. Structure and morphology of synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Electron Microscopy/Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy SEM/EDX. The electro-activity of synthesized Au/copolymer nanoparticles were studied with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
