Abstract
Gold particles are formed by photochemical reduction of HAuCl4 in the bulk of poly(butyl acrylate) elastomer films under the action of monochromatic light with the wavelengths of 254 and 365 nm with direct participation of the ester chromophore group of the polymer having intrinsic photosensitivity in the near-UV range (254 nm). On irradiation at the wavelength of 365 nm, the reduction of HAuCl4 is ineffective and stops at the stage of Au(I) formation. The physicomechanical properties of elastomer films modified with gold particles (tensile strength and relative elongation) were studied.
