| description | In the present study, the synthesis of Ag/PMMA nanocomposites is addressed. AgNO3
was used as a source of silver ions, polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a reducing agent and
Daxad 19 as a stabilizer and reducing agent. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by
chemical reduction method in various concentration of silver nitrate (AgNO3) and
Daxad 19 at different reactant temperature. The as-synthesized silver nanoparticles were
used as primary source to produce Ag/PMMA nanocomposites via in-situ technique.
The effect of reactant temperatures, PMMA weight ratio and the percentage loading of
silver nanoparticles in the Ag/PMMA nanocomposites were studied. UV-vis studies
indicate that the maximum surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak occurred at 419 nm
with refractive index, 1.8. The smallest particle size is 24 nm as shown from the TEM
image. FESEM studies show that Ag/PMMA nanocomposites start to agglomerates at
higher temperature, 120 °C. TGA studies indicate that the stability of Ag/PMMA
nanocomposites increases when the percentage loading of silver nanoparticles in
PMMA increases. FTIR studies show that the chemical bonding are dominated by
AgNO3, PMMA and DMF solution. The Raman spectra of Ag/PMMA nanocomposites
for 10 percent loading of silver nanoparticles get enhanced with increasing of reactant
temperature. The dielectric studies indicate that the dielectric constant, ɛ’ and dielectric
loss, ɛ” increase with the increase of percentage loading of silver nanoparticles in
PMMA. The optimum result of the synthesis Ag/PMMA nanocomposites is at 80 °C
with 10 percent loading of silver nanoparticles. |
