Popis: Copper and nickel nanoparticles were synthesized in the insoluble microcrystalline cellulose support by reduction of metal ions with several reducers in various media resulting in cellulose-metal nanocomposites. Wide-angle X-ray scattering results showed that supramolecular structure of cellulose did not change. Crystalline Cu 2 O and Cu← 1 0 nanoparticles were prepared with reducers NaBH 4 and N 2 H 4 .H 2 SO 4 , CuO nanoparticles - with cellulose itself as a reducer. Crystalline Ni 0 nanoparticles were synthesized with N 2 H 4 .2HCl and NaBH 4 ; Ni 0 nanoparticles in amorphous form were prepared with KH 2 PO 2 . H 2 O, SEM revealed large agglomerates of metal particles on the fibre surface. ASAXS and TEM have shown the nanoparticles to be in the range 5-55 nm.
