Synthesis of lead sulfide/(polyvinyl acetate) nanocomposites with controllable morphology

PbS/(polyvinyl acetate) nanocomposites with different morphology that inorganic particles embedded in polymer matrix and inorganic nanowires in polymer nanotubes, respectively, were first synthesized upon gamma-irradiation at room temperature and under ambient pressure in a simple system.
