Photothermal self-healing of gold nanoparticle–polystyrene hybrids

摘要: This study focused on the processing and photothermal healing of gold nanoparticle (Au NP) polystyrene (PS) hybrid films. Effects Au NP contents were investigated using films with content from 0 to 1 wt% via a solvent-assisted approach. The as-synthesized NPs showed an average diameter 4–5 nm face-centered cubic structure. agglomeration deteriorated as increased interparticle distance decreased. film transparency flexibility also decreased content. Au-PS demonstrated desirable behaviors, which required more energy defect size increase. simulated temperature distribution during photo-induced good agreement experimental results, particle degrading properties. developed can be used in functional devices coatings high healed photon sources.
