Copolymers of 4-Acryloylmorpholine with 2-Dimethyl- and 2-Diethylaminoethyl Methacrylate and Silver-Containing Nanocomposites Based on Them

Copolymers of 4-acryloylmorpholine with 2-dimethyl- and 2-diethylaminoethyl methacrylates of variable composition and molecular mass were prepared by free-radical copolymerization. The reactivity ratios of the comonomers were determined for the first time. The copolymers synthesized are capable to reduce Ag+ ions without using additional agents to form stable nanodispersions of zerovalent silver with spherical nanoparticles of 8–10 nm size.
