Abstract

In the present paper, we report the generation of silver nanoparticles by in situ photoreduction of the silver salt into an organic matrix based on vinyl acetate (VAc), p-acryloyloxybenzaldehyde (AcrBzA), N-methacryloyloxyethyl-N’-fluoresceinyl urea (MA-Fl) and/or trietoxysilylpropyl carbamoyloxyethyl methacrylate (TCM) and phenyl-bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide (Irgacure 819) as photoinitiator. The formation of the nanoparticles (average diameter: 3-30 nm) in this manner has been confirmed using UV-vis, fluorescence and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy analysis, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The hybrid films emit fluorescence at 530 nm that could be quenched on the silver nanoparticles surface via electron and energy-transfer processes..
