Spectroscopic and Electronic Properties of Layer-by-Layer Assembled Gamma-Irradiated Silver/Poly(Acrylic Acid) Nanocomposites
Abstract:
Layer-by-layer (L-b-L) assembly is a simple method that is useful in immobilizing nanomaterials into thin films. However, the retention of the optical and photogalvanic property of the nanoparticles and the functionalization of these materials are the common issues raised regarding this technique. In this study, L-b-L thin films were prepared from γ-radiation reduced,silver/poly (acrylic acid) nanocomposites (Ag/PAA). Negatively surface charged nanocomposites were immobilized on different silica surfaces, namely quartz, Indium Tin Oxide-modified glass and ordinary glass. Characterization of the solution and bound form of the nanocomposites were done to evaluate the retention of their novel properties. The size distribution of the solution-phased Ag/PAA was assessed using dynamic light scattering (DLS). The surface morphology, spectroscopic and electronic properties of the multilayer films were characterized using atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-vis spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and cyclic voltammetry (CV).
