Cryochemical synthesis and structure of metal-containing poly(p-xylylenes): system poly(chloro-p-xylylene)-Ag

Polymer films with small Ag‐clusters and Ag‐nanocrystals were obtained by the cocondensation of Ag and chloro‐p‐xylylene from the gaseous phase followed by low‐temperature solid‐state polymerization. UV‐Vis spectroscopic data show that the annealing of films at ambient temperature and thereafter at...

Description
Summary:Polymer films with small Ag‐clusters and Ag‐nanocrystals were obtained by the cocondensation of Ag and chloro‐p‐xylylene from the gaseous phase followed by low‐temperature solid‐state polymerization. UV‐Vis spectroscopic data show that the annealing of films at ambient temperature and thereafter at 373 K leads to a sharp rise of the amount of Agnanocrystals by aggregation of small clusters, but the mean size l̄ of the nanocrystals remains practically constant. According to X‐ray data, the lattice of Ag‐nanocrystals is close to that of metallic Ag and l̄ is equal to approximately 50 Å.
