Abstract: | Novel Pd(0) nanocomposites using polycaprolactam as a reducing and stabilizing matrix are synthesized. Data on the nanoparticle formation mechanism in a polycaprolactam matrix under the conditions of changing pH of the medium and reagent concentration ratios are obtained. The nanocomposite structure is studied by electron and infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, atomic force and transmission electron microscopy. The size of metal-containing particles in the composite composition and their size distribution are determined. The obtained nanocomposites can serve as heterogeneous catalysts. |
