Abstract
The morphology of complexly organized structures formed in polymer matrix under the action of silver nanoparticles has been investigated using atomic-force microscopy. The analysis of the set of experimental data and the results of the theoretical calculations of the pair interaction potentials has made it possible to propose the mechanism of formation of the “flower” structure, which is based on the interactions in the far potential minimum.
