Abstract

Ultrafine metal particles immobilized on styrene/acrylic acid copolymer fine particles were produced by reducing the copolymer particles-metal ion complexes or refluxing an ethanol solution of metal ions in the presence of copolymer particles. The size of metal particles formed by reduction of the complex is smaller than that by reflux of the metal ion solution and depends on the amount of metal ions immobilized.

    For latter thermosensitive supports, the conventional impregnation/hydrogen reduction method is not applicable. To date, several alternative synthetic routes have been considered for such kind of supports: electrodeposition [7], preformed metal particle sorption on polystyrene beads (PSBs) [8], and chemical reduction including electroless deposition [9–11]. Other techniques can also be considered for the synthesis of nanomaterials.

    This limit was solved by developing the polymer/metal hybrid particles [13–15]. Various ways of synthesizing methods for core/shell type of polymer/metal hybrid particles have been reported; for example, physical incorporation [16], reduction of polymer-metal ion complexes [17], chemical metal deposition [18,19], electroless plating [20] and so forth. Among numerous methods, electroless plating method was the most widely implemented technique in industrial field.

    Functionalized particles with desirable functional groups on the surface of the particles have found huge applications in immunoassays [3], protein separation [4], and drug delivery systems [5]. Carboxylated micro- and nanospheres prepared by polymerizing styrene with acrylic acid (AAc) and methacrylic acid (MAA) have been immobilized with Pd and Rh metal nanoparticles and are used in industrial hydrogenation [6]. Sulfonated polystyrene colloids have found application in medicinal fields [7], catalysis [8], water purification systems, PEM fuel cell membranes [9], and polymeric template assisted metal nanoparticle synthesis [10].

    To our knowledge, there are a few reports about MoO2/inorganic hybrid complex, such as mullite-molybdenum composites [14], but no reports about MoO2/polymer nanocomposites till now. Many methods have been employed to synthesize inorganic/polymer nanocomposites [15–21]. The common approaches contain sol–gel method, polymer layered method, blend method, in situ polymerization method etc. [22–27].
