The achievement of uniform nanoparticles distribution in polymer matrix is still a major challenge in the design and fabrication of polymer nanocomposites with desired properties. In this paper we propose a novel approach for the preparation of homogeneous polystyrene/silver nanocomposites utilizing Nitroxide Mediated Radical Polymerization (NMRP). In the first step of the developed procedure, the polystyrene grafted silver nanoparticles (Ag@PS) with well-defined core-shell structure and exceptionally high grafting density (from 2 chains/nm(2) to 5.9 chains/nm(2)) have been synthesized through late injection of nitroxide-coated silver nanoparticles (N-AgNPs) into a TEMPOL mediated styrene polymerization system. Afterwards, the synthesized Ag@PS have been used for the preparation of nanocomposites (PS/Ag@PS) by mixing them with narrow-dispersity polystyrenes and thermoforming at 140 degrees C. Due to the high flexibility of polymer chains attached to silver surface through nitroxide linker, free volume effect enables interpenetration of polystyrene molecules that provides excellent mutual miscibility of Ag@PS with polymer matrix. The synthesized nanohybrids (Ag@PS) and their nanocomposites (PS/Ag@PS) exhibit effective antibacterial activity with respect to pathogenic bacteria: Pseudomonas aentginosa (Gram-negative representative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive representative).
