Chelating poly(acrylates-co-2-methylacrylic acid 3-(bis-carboxymethylamino)-2-hydroxy-propyl ester) microspheres of diameter 250-310 nm were prepared by the soap-free emulsion polymerization method for varying amounts of GMA-IDA. Then CdS/copolymer composite was generated by chemical deposition on the surface of the copolymer microspheres. By XRD analysis it is found that the chelated CdS nanoparticles are a pure cubic zinc blende structure. The CdS/copolymer composite is examined by UV-vis absorbance, photoluminescence, and TEM observation. Average CdS nanoparticle size calculated from Henglein's empirical curve is in the range of 3.0-8.0 nm and varies according to the GMA-IDA molar ratio during polymerization, pH value during chelation, and postchelation annealing temperature. Higher ratio of chelating group, pH value, and annealing temperature produce larger CdS nanoparticles. As GMA-IDA ratio increases, photoluminescence exhibits a red shift from 510 to 520 nm, photoluminescence increases, and bandwidth decreases. Photoluminescence of the CdS nanoparticle becomes negligible when diameter exceeds 5 nm.

A simple method for the preparation of hybrid luminescence and rodlike CdS nanoclusters/poly (propylene-grafted-(2-methylacrylic acid 3-(bis-carboxymethyl amino-2-hydroxy-propyl ester) (GMA-IDA fibers, by plasma induced method following chemical deposition method, is presented in this study. GMA-IDA chelating groups which are grafted onto the poly(propylene) fibers are the coordination sites for chelating Cd+2, on which nano-sized CdS nanocrystals grew. TEM observations demonstrate that the mean diameter of CdS nanocrystals inside the poly(PP-graft-GMA-IDA) fibers alters from 2 nm to 8 nm at various concentrations of S2- solution. Additionally, SEM presents that the CdS nanocrystals on the surface have rod-like structure. The UV-vis absorption spectra provide the information of the absorption edges, band-gaps, and average diameter of CdS nanocrystals, the results of which are coincidence with the TEM observations. Furthermore, the photoluminescence (PL) shows the maximum peaks are 495 nm, 571 nm, 657 nm, and 675 nm corresponding to the mean particle sizes 2.6 nm, 3.5 nm, 4.8 nm, and 7.7 nm, respectively, at an excitation wavelength of 366 nm.
