Gold–polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) nanocomposites were fabricated with a photoreduction method using UV irradiation. The irradiated samples are compared with unirradiated ones to investigate the mechanism of gold nanoparticle formation and the effect of UV irradiation and polymer matrix on the morphology of the particles. The triangular gold nanoparticles were formed in polymer medium at a specific concentration of gold salt and UV exposure. The particle size decreased when the gold salt to polymer ratio was increased. The samples were analysed using UV–Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, atomic force microscopy, x-ray diffraction, small angle x-ray scattering and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The interfacial interaction of Au nanoparticles and PMMA polymer has been discussed.
