Abstract:A facile method is reported to synthesize a stable dispersion of silver nanoparticles in polymeric resin and its catalytic activity studies. The average particle size of silver nanoparticles obtained was 30 nm. CHNS analysis, FTIR spectra SEM, EDX, TEM, UV-visible spectra were the various techniques used for characterization. Catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol using the synthesized catalyst was the model reaction selected here. The efficiency of catalytic reduction was found to be 93 % in a total time of 24 … Show more
