Synthesis of Silver Oxide Nanoparticles (Ag2O Nps) and Study Their Dispersion into New Polymer Matrix

In this paper, novel polymers were prepared for the first time via, which were used as matrices. silver oxide nanoparticles (ag2o- nps) was synthesized via eco-friendly route using silver nitrate (agno3) as a precursor with sodium hydroxide as precipitation agent in the presence of orange leaves extract as a reduced factor. silver oxide nanoparticles/polymer matrixes (ag2o-nps/polymer) were synthesized by solution method. the calcination temperature of silver oxide nanoparticles was 550 °c. the crystal system of ag2o- nps is cubic (a = 1. 892 å with average size diameter 38.69 nm) was measured by xrd. ft-ir technique was used to confirm the presence of functional groups in ag2o-nps spectrum. the dynamic light scattering (dls) showed a wider nanoparticle size distribution in two peaks. the morphology analysis were explain by fe-sem technique, showed a different sizes and spherical shapes nanoparticles with average diameters at 47.45, 57.18 nm and 68.78 nm for ag2o-nps after calcination processes, ag2o-nps/p1 and ag-nps/p2 matrix respectively. the edx results presented the elements (ag=91.2%, o=1.9%).
