This work describes the stabilisation of silver and copper nanoparticles in chemically modified chitosan colloidal solution. Chitosan-N-2-methylidene-hydroxy-pyridine-6-methylidene hydroxy thiocarbohydrazide (CSPTH) was used as a stabilising and reducing agent for silver and copper nanoparticles. The modified chitosan derivatives and the synthesised nanoparticles were characterised by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Particle size, morphology and segregation of the nanoparticles were determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The size of the nanoparticles was found to be less than 20 nm and 50 nm for silver and copper nanoparticles, respectively. These nanoparticles were stabilised in a chemically modified chitosan solution and their properties were studied using fluorescence spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The optical properties of silver nanoparticles in surface plasmon band (SPB) were enhanced at 407 nm compared to those of copper nanoparticles. Fluorescence (400 nm and 756 nm), photoluminescence (450 and 504 nm) and Raman scattering (1382 and 1581 cm(-1)) properties for the copper nanoparticles were superior to those of the silver nanoparticles.
