Synthesis and characterization of poly(butyl acrylate-co-styrene)–silver nanocomposites by γ radiation in W/O microemulsions

Abstract

Poly(butyl acrylate-co-styrene)–silver nanocomposites were prepared by γ-irradiation of microemulsions and metallic silver nanoparticles of near uniform size were found to be well dispersed in the polymer matrix.
