Abstract
We report a study of the photoluminescence (PL) from cadmium sulfide nanoparticles formed by successive ion layered
adsorption and reaction (SILAR) in samples of different polymeric matrices. The results of our investigation have shown that
the character of the PL depends on the type of polymeric matrix. After thermal annealing of samples of CdS:gelatin the
intensity of the PL increases. However, in samples of CdS:polybutadien(PB) the intensity after thermal annealing
decreases. It is assumed that the character of the PL is mainly determined by interphase interaction between the
nanoparticles and the polymeric matrix.
