Abstract

OVALLE, Sergio A.; BLANCO-TIRADO, Cristian  and  COMBARIZA, Marianny Y.. In situ synthesis of silver nanoparticles on fique fibers. Rev.Colomb.Quim. [online]. 2013, vol.42, n.1, pp.47-63. ISSN 0120-2804.

A nanocomposite material was synthesized by silver nanoparticles (NPs) in situ deposition on Fique fibers. The influence of experimental conditions such as precursor concentration, reducing agent concentration and immersion times of fibers in precursor and reducing agent solutions was evaluated in terms of nanomaterial coating, size and dispersion on the fibers surface. The nanocomposites were characterized by UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DR), electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). By carefully controlling experimental conditions we were able to produce a material with uniforme and complete coating of NPs on the surface of the fiber, and average sizes of 40 nm.

Keywords : silver nanoparticles; Fique fibers; in situ synthesis; bionanocomposite.
