ABSTRACT
Functional polymers were previously employed to minimize the susceptibility of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) for aggregation. Herein, we intended to conjugate catechol moiety into the polymer chain end considering its anchoring ability to virtually most surfaces. Accordingly, catechol end-functionalized polysarcosine (cat-PSar) was successfully prepared from the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of sarcosine N-carboxyanhydrides (Sar-NCA) using dopamine hydrochloride initiator. ROP of Sar-NCA was carried out at different monomer to initiator feed ratios. The molecular structure of cat-PSar was confirmed by 1H NMR and MALDITOF. Afterward, the obtained catechol functionalized polymer was used for in-situ synthesis and stabilization of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) in aqueous solution. The observed characteristic absorption peak at λmax of 415 nm indicates the formation of Ag-NPs. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images also elucidate the formation of Ag-NPs with the relatively small sizes of the nanocomposite at a high concentration of silver nitrate. Hence, biomimetic polymers could play a dual role as reducing and stabilizing agents in the preparation of monodispersed MNPs.
