Abstract
Au/polyacrylamide (Au/PAM) nanocomposites were successfully prepared in situ by γ (gamma)-irradiation in an ethanol system. The products were characterized by some means including X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), IR and UV-VIS spectra. Based on two-aspects, ethanol was used as the solvent. Firstly, it is a very good solvent like water. A lot of inorganic salts and organic monomers can dissolve in it. Secondly, ethanol is also a polar substance. Thus, solventional electron can be easily produced in it during γ-irradiation, which is an important media in the system and plays a crucial role in the synthesis of composites.
