Plasma-Chemical Synthesis of Plasmon Metal-Polymer Coatings, Their Structure and Properties

The regularities of the formation of plasmon resonant absorption of metal composite polymer coatings from the active gas phase formed by electron-beam dispersion of a mixture of a polymer and a metal salt are examined. The laser ultraviolet assisting action on PMMA additionally activates volatile dispersing products. This leads to an intensification of secondary polymerization processes, the formation of coatings with a lower content of oxygen-containing side groups. Laser action promotes the formation of silver nanoparticles in a coating composition with a narrow size distribution.
