ABSTRACT
In this work, through a novel route, nano-PbS/polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) composites were successfully synthesized in microemulsion solutions containing sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate, n-heptane, and water. Transmission electron microscopy was used to investigate the morphology of the synthesized products. The structures of nano-PbS/PMMA were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, and the luminescent properties of resultant hybrid materials were characterized by UV757CRT spectrophotometer and luminescence spectrometer.
