How are Polymer Supported Metal Nanoparticles Prepared?
There are several methods to prepare PSMNPs: - In situ reduction: Metal salts are reduced within the polymer matrix, forming nanoparticles. - Impregnation: Preformed nanoparticles are incorporated into the polymer. - Grafting: Metal ions are grafted onto functionalized polymers, followed by reduction to form nanoparticles.
