title: From triple interpolyelectrolyte-metal complexes to polymer-metal nanocomposites.
abstract: Nanocomposite polymer materials containing metal or metal oxide particles attract growing interest due to their specific unique combination of physical and electric behavior. Stoichometric triple interpolyelectrolyte-metal complexes (TIMC) are insoluble in water and in aqueous organic media and may include high content of metal ions; concentration of ions is easy to vary in such polymeric systems. Reduction of metal ions is a common method for obtaining nanoparticles. Interpolyelectrolyte complexes reveal high permeability for polar low-molecular substances and salts. Such swelling behavior is important for the reduction of metal ions included in these solids. The properties of triple interpolyelectrolyte-metal complexes and preparation of nanocomposites from these materials using various methods of metal ion reduction are discussed in this work.
