<p>A process for the preparation of metal nanoparticles supported on a biopolymer substrate, which substrate acts in aqueous solution as reducing and stabilising agent for the metal nanoparticles, the process, comprising the steps of:
a) forming a solution of a salt of the metal
b) dispersing the biopolymer into the metal salt solution
c) optionally, adding a co-reducing agent to the metal salt solution
c) irradiating the metal salt solution with microwaves for 1 to 15 minutes, thereby to deposit metal nanoparticles onto the biopolymer.</p> |
