Abstract
This work describes the preparation of highly filled nanocomposite film with cadmium sulphide nanoparticles as the fillers and polystyrene as the matrix. Being self-organised in the matrix, the nano-CdS particles can be incorporated at a content as high as 20 wt. %. It was demonstrated that CdS nanoparticles can be self-organised in PS when a certain mercaptan is used to coat the particle surface. The performance of such composites is characterised by the study of their optical properties.
