Description
Summary:<p>A simple phase transfer method is employed to synthesize silver (Ag) nanoparticles in Poly-3-hidroxy-butyrate<br /> (PHB) composite in the presence of TOAB. TOAB act as capping agent for the Ag particles, obtained through the<br /> reduction of AgNOB3B using NaBHB4,B in aqueous solution as well as an aqueous to organic phase transfer. Experiments<br /> were conducted with and without PHB in the organic phase. Ag organosols were characterized using UV-vis, TEM,<br /> FTIR, and AAS trechniques. The UV-vis absorption spectra confirmed that silver nanoparticles synthesized in the<br /> aqueous phase and subsequently transferred into organic phase with or without PHB. TEM monographs showed the<br /> presence of small and highly distributed of Ag particles when the organosol contains PHB as compared to organosol<br /> without PHB, where the average particles size and standard deviation (SD) are of 11.3 &plusmn
