Abstract

The synthesis of Ag nanoparticles stabilized Poly(N,N’-methylene bis-acrylamide N-aminoethyl piperazine)(MBA-AEPZ) was reported. The effects of hyperbranched polymer generation number on the size and size distribution of Ag nanoparticles were studied, which were determined from the UV plasmon absorption spectra and transmission electron microscopic (TEM) analysis. These data show that the changes of size (8.7, 9.6 and 10.2 nm) were observed with increase in Poly(MBA-AEPZ) generation number (1, 3 and 5) at the same Ag+:NH2 group ratio (M:D).
