ABSTRACT

Gold sols were synthesized in polymer matrices. The star-like copolymers Dextran-graft-Polyacrylamide and linear Polyacrylamide were used. The influence of macromolecular structure of polymer matrix on size distribution gold nanoparticles in sols and their aging effect were studied by Dynamic

Light Scattering (DLS). It was shown that storage stability and nanoparticles size distribution are affected by molecular architecture of polymer matrix. Branched structure of polymer matrix provides higher sol stability in comparison with linear one.
