FIELD: production of anti-bacterial and sterilizing substances, conducting adhesives and inks and protective screens of graphical displays.
SUBSTANCE: proposed colloidal solution is prepared through dissolving the metal salt and water-soluble polymer in water and/or nonaqueous solvent. Then, reaction reservoir with solution thus obtained is blown with gaseous nitrogen or argon and is subjected to radioactive radiation, after which solution is additionally diluted and treated with ultrasound. Used as metal salt is silver salt, for example nitrate, perchlorate, sulfate or acetate. Use may be also made of nickel, copper, palladium or platinum salt. Used as polymer is poly vinyl pyrrolidone, copolymer of 1-vinyl pyrrolidone with acryl or vinyl acetic acid, with styrene or vinyl alcohol. Used as nonaqueous solvent is methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol or ethylene glycol. In production of metal-polymer nano-composites, use may be made of polymer stabilizer, for example, polyethylene, polyacrylonitrile, polymethyl methocrylate, polyurethane, polyacrylamide or polyethylene glycol instead of water-soluble polymer. In this case, surfactant may be additionally introduced into reaction reservoir for obtaining the emulsion. Solution remains stable for 10 months at retained shape of particles and minor increase of their size. Freshly prepared colloidal solution contains nano-particles having size not exceeding 8 nm.
EFFECT: smooth distribution of nano-particles of metal in polymer.
