Copper nanoparticles on the surface of ultradispersed polytetrafluoroethylene nanograins
Author
Summary, in English
Nanosized copper-containing particles stabilized on the surface of polymer nanograins were obtained by thermal decomposition of copper-containing precursors in a fluidized bed of ultradispersed polytetrafluoroethylene. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the average size of nanoparticles is 10-12 nm. The structure of the particles was determined by EXAFS, EPR, and X-ray powder diffraction. The copper nanoparticles consist of a core and a shell and are well structured. The core is copper metal, whereas the surface layer, which constitutes no more than 2% of the nanoparticle weight, is copper oxide.
