Nanocomposite films of Poly (methylmethacrylate) with different concentration of silver nanoparticles were prepared by ex-situ method. Firstly, silver nanoparticles were obtained by reducing the aqueous solution of silver nitrate with sodium borohydride then Ag-PMMA films were prepared by mixing colloidal solution of silver nanoparticles with solution of polymer. Thin solid films were structurally characterized using UV-VIS spectroscopy and TEM. The appearance of surface plasmon resonance peak, characteristic of silver nanoparticles at 420 nm in UV-VIS absorption spectra of Ag-PMMA films confirms the formation of Ag-PMMA nanocomposite. TEM showed Ag nanoparticles of average size 8 nm embedded in PMMA matrix. Analysis of absorption and reflection data indicates towards the reduction in optical band gap and increase in refractive index of the resulting nanocomposite. The synthesized Ag-PMMA nanocomposite has been found to be more conducting than PMMA as ascertained using I-V studies. The decrease in band gap and increase in conductivity can be correlated due to the formation of localized electronic states in PMMA matrix due to insertion of Ag nanoparticles. The PMMA thin films with dispersed silver nanoparticles may be useful for nanophotonic devices.

AbstractA surface plasmon resonance mercury sensor was demonstrated by electroless reduction of silver nanoparticles on amorphous silicon thin films. Unlike the previous Ag/Au nanoparticle - Hg interaction investigations, which monitored the blue shift of the dipolar plasmon band of well-dispersed nanoparticles, the present work reveals and explores the red shift of the symmetric hybrid plasmon mode of the interacting nanoparticles in response to Hg vapor exposure. Sensitivity to Hg was explored with varying nanoparticle size, which could be controlled by the immersion time associated with the reduction process. The recovery of the hybrid plasmon band after the Hg exposure was also monitored which was observed to be slower than the recovery of the dipolar plasmon band for noninteracting particles.

Silver nanoparticles (10–20 nm) embedded into silica thin films have been obtained through the use of a silver organometallic precursor compound dissolved in Spin-On-Glass and subsequently spinned onto suitable substrates. In this paper we present a study of the shape, size, and distribution of silver particles through the use of microscopes, x-ray diffraction, and optical extinction. It has been observed that the obtained films are stable for annealing up to 500 °C with a progressive degradation above this temperature. Furthermore it is possible to obtain high-density silver particles up to 15% in weight without affecting the cluster size and shape.
