Synthesis, Morphology, and Spectral Characteristics of Copper, Silver, and Selenium-Containing Hybrid Nanosystems Based on 2-Deoxy-2-metacrylamido-D-glucose Copolymer with 2-Dimethylaminoethyl Methacrylate

Hybrid nanosystems based on nanoparticles of zero-valent copper (Cu0), zero-valent silver (Ag0), and zero-valent selenium (Se0) are synthesized. The nanoparticles are stabilized by a water-soluble random copolymer of 2-deoxy-2-methacrylamido-D-glucose with 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate. A comparative study is made using UV–Vis spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The effect the nature of the nanoparticles has on the morphological and spectral characteristics of the formed nanosystems is shown. It is found that due to good screening, the reduction of nutrient ions in water in the presence of the indicated copolymer allows spherical nanostructures with diameters of 80 to 250 nm to be obtained.
