## Abstract Clusters of silver nanoparticles are generated by the thermally initiated reduction of silver carboxylates (longβchain fatty acids) in the thin polymer films. The size, shape, and aggregation of these nanoparticles are affected by the reduction reaction in the presence of capping agents

Fluorinated acrylic polymer (FAP) films have been impregnated with silver precursor (Ag(hfac)COD) by supercritical fluid technique and next irradiated with laser (Ξ» = 532 nm). Laser-chemically reduced Ag atoms have been assembled into massifs of Ag nanoparticles (3 -8 nm) in FAP/Ag(hfac)COD films ma
## Abstract Antimicrobial properties of polymer materials are required in many applications. The polyethylene/superabsorbent polymer (PE/SAP) blends containing silver nanoparticles were successfully prepared via thermal reduction during melt mixing. It was found that in situ formed silver nanoparti
