Abstract

Nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) were synthesized via the reducing of nickel ions with hydra­zine in an alkaline solution of ethylene glycol under different conditions. It was found that under the conditions of homogeneous nucleation the obtained NiNPs are irregular in shape and form continuous linear agglomerates with a length of 1.5–3.5 mm, and contrary, under the conditions of heterogeneous nucleation monodisperse nanopowders with average particles diameter of 180±40 nm are formed. NiNPs were used as fillers for the preparation of electroconductive nickel-containing polymer composite materials with electromagnetic interference shielding properties. It was shown that at a filler content of 10 vol.%, the specific electrical conductivity of the composite material is 30 S/cm, and the level of attenuation of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation is 25 dB (~ 100 dB/mm).
