Popis: This work presents the preparation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with montmorillonite to produce a nanomaterial with bactericidal properties. The modified montmorillonite was characterized through the techniques of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The FTIR and Raman spectrum’s showed specific bands of involving stretching silver. In the XRD analyses was observed the occurrence of the following crystallographic planes (111), (200) e (220) silver related. The nanocomposites of polyethylene with AgNPs did not show loss in mechanical properties, this fact was important and indicate that the nanomaterial can be inserted in this polymer matrix with considerable technological interest.
