Abstract

Summary Gold nanoparticles modified with poly(2?methyl?2?oxazoline) have been prepared via chemical reduction of HAuCl <subscript>4</subscript> by NaBH <subscript>4</subscript>. The gold nanoparticles were homogeneously dispersed in poly(vinyl chloride) as a polymer matrix by the miscibility between the protecting polymer of the nanoparticle and the polymer matrix. Differential scanning calorimetry and UV?vis absorption measurement clearly showed that the miscibility played an important role for incorporation of the metal nanoparticles in the polymer matrix.
