Abstract
The present invention includes photochemical method of making hybrid metal-polymer microparticles in an aqueous, biocompatible solution by providing a metal (I) composition and one or more polymeric materials; applying an electromagnetic radiation to the metal (I) composition; converting the metal (I) composition to a metal (0) composition; forming one or more hybrid metal-polymer microparticles from the metal (0); capping the one or more hybrid metal-polymer microparticles; and stabilizing the one or more hybrid metal-polymer microparticles with the one or more polymeric materials to prevent agglomeration.
