Abstract

Polyacrylamide(PAM)/cadmium sulfide(CdS) nanocomposites have been successfully prepared by combination of reverse microemulsion and carbon dioxide antisolvent techniques. TEM, XRD, and FTIR were used to characterize the nanocomposites obtained. TEM photographs of the nanocomposites show that their diameter is approximately 30–60 nm. This method has potential advantages, for example the procedure is simple and the solutions can be easily reused.
