A cryochemical synthesis of silver nanoparticles stabilised by poly(2-dimet
hylaminoethyl methacrylate) (poly-DMAEMA) has been performed; it has been f
ound using optical spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering and electron micr
oscopy that silver sols prepared with these nanoparticles in water, acetone
and toluene are sterically stabilised by macromolecular poly-DMAEMA layers
formed at the surface of nanoparticles, and the thickness of these layers
depends on the nature of the solvent.
