Novel Method for the Preparation of Polymeric Hollow Nanospheres Containing Silver Cores with Different Sizes

Abstract

A novel photoreduction method is presented in this paper for the fabrication of polypyrrole-chitosan (PPy-CS) hollow nanospheres with movable Ag nanoparticles inside (Ag@PPy-CS). Ag nanoparticle is formed by ultraviolet irradiation in the interior of the PPy-CS hollow nanosphere.
