Synthesis of PbS nanoparticles in polymer matrices

Abstract

A new kind of PbS nanoparticles/polymer composite is synthesized whose microstructure observed under TEM proves that the nanoparticles are well dispersed and even in size; electron diffraction results identify the PbS nanoparticles to be of the cubic rock salt structure, and the particle size can be varied from 4 to 11 nm.
