Formation and properties of films based on polyvinyl alcohol and doped with silver nanoparticles

- Growing the Ag NPs in the PVA matrix during the drying of the composition.
- The ability of achievement of high concentrations of Ag NPs.
- The time interval during which drying PVA composition can be modified is 2.5 h.
- SEM micrographs confirm the conclusions relative to the sizes of Ag NPs drawn on the basis of absorption spectra.
