Preparation of silver nanoparticles stabilized on the surface of polystyrene microspheres

Polymer composites based on polymethylmethacrylate with silver nanoparticles, synthesis and optical properties

“…The measurement of optical characteristics of the nanocomposite (reflection and transmission coef ficients) showed that the application of the coating leads to an increase in the transmission of solar radia tion and can be used as an antireflection coating for photocells. 4. It was found that the maximum brightening effect can be achieved upon the application of a nano composite silver containing coating at the metal con centration equal to 3 wt %; in this case, a 10% increase in the efficiency of work of the photocell compared to a photocell without a coating took place.…”

“…It became possible to produce metallopoly mer composites bearing almost any type of matrices (organic, inorganic) and fillers, including metal pow ders with nanosized particles. In [1][2][3][4], composite materials based on organic matrices (high pressure polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polypropy lene, and polystyrene) containing metal particles (Fe, Ni, Cr, and Ag) were obtained. At the same time, the polymers in use have low light transmission coeffi cients (α = 0.5-0.6), which complicates their use in optical devices.…”

Comparisons of Fastness of the Coating Processes of Electroless Silver Plating on Polyethylene Membrane Surfaces

“…Moreover, the variable capacitors are appeared of the highest quality when he PE membrane covers silver-plated plates. Similarly, silverplated membrane has other antistatic and anti-bacterial capabilities in plastic applications [14,16]. Consequently, the different processes of impregnation, brush and spray on electroless silver plating of PE membrane are necessary and important to be illustrated on the fastnesses of coating processes to be better for the human being health and the environment safety.…”

“…Most modern anti-bacteria methods are to use several modifications of various compounds, classified on the basis of chemical/biosynthetic origin into natural agents like sorbic acids, organic agents like quaternaries, and inorganic agents like silver and its ion [16,17]. Those compounds are used to kill bacteria by bactericidal agents and slow down or stall bacterial growth by bacteriostatic agents according to their biological effect on microorganisms of biological activities.…”
