Abstract

Solid nanocomposite films of “silver/polyvinylpyrrolidone/polyacrylonitrile” were synthesized for the first time by means of UV-induced polymerization. Structural characterization carried out by transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of triangular silver nanoprisms with an edge length of ~40 nm and a thickness of ~15 nm in addition to spherical nanoparticles. The nanoparticles shape evolution process during synthesis and storage has been monitored in detail by UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy and plasma resonance bands depending on the shape of the silver nanoparticles have been identified. Unlike spherical nanoparticles, which absorb light at 420–450 nm, the triangular nanoprisms demonstrate a clear absorption in the red range of the spectrum. The optical spectra of the composite films with incorporated silver nanoprisms manifest an intense in-plane dipole plasmon resonance band at 585–650 nm, as well as a weak out-of-plane quadrupole resonance band at 340 nm.
