Abstract: The X-ray-induced reduction of Cu²⁺ ions in aqueous–alcoholic suspensions containing poly(allylamine) and poly(acrylic acid) leads to a specific microheterogeneous structure with microdomains (100–200 nm) enriched by small copper nanoparticles (2 to 4 nm), which are dispersed in a continuous matrix.

Keywords: radiation-chemical reduction, copper nanoparticles, metal-polymer nanocomposites, two-level structure.
