Copper-containing nanoparticles in a high-pressure polyethylene matrix were prepared by thermal decomposition of copper acetate. An electron microscopic study of the morphology and an X-ray diffraction analysis of the phase composition of a nanocomposite were carried out. It was shown that the dispersed phase essentially consisted of metallic copper nanoparticles with a size of 33.94 nm.
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.
