Fabrication of Metal-Polymer Nanocomposite with Beaded Structures Using Ordered Anodic Porous Alumina Template
The fabrication of nanocomposites consisting of uniform-sized metal nanoparticles arranged at uniform intervals in a fibrous polymer matrix is described. The combined process of metal deposition into periodic holes in anodic porous alumina and polymer injection into the holes yielded metal (Au, Ag)- polymer composite structures. In the obtained composition, metal nanoparticles are arranged at equal spaces in a fibrous polymer matrix.
