| Summary: | Metals particles-covered Polystyrene Nanospheres (M-CPSNs) could be prepared through simple chemistry reaction. Analyzing Cd metal particles-covered PSNs as a model for metals particles-covered Polystyrene Nanospheres with ATR-FTIR spectrometry and FESEM, it prove that metals can be attached to polystyrene polymer. In determining the wave number ranges of 1700-1600 cm-1 and 1500-1200 cm-1 , signficant different of ATR-FTIR spectra are generated between pristine PSNs and cadmium-covered PSNs. In addition, surface morphology of pristine PSNs thin film explored with FESEM revealed sharply different from that of cadmium-covered PSNs one. It indicated that PSNs particles surface have succesfully been fully covered by cadmium metals particles. Therefore it could be concluded that cadmium metals particles-covered PSNs thin film could be fabricated as a way to embedded metal to polymer which could be usefull in creating embeded nancatalysts and the model is ilustrated as the following Fig. 2. |
