The objects of this study are the preparation and application of ZnS/PMMA and HgS/PMMA nanocomposite form. Using only one molecule of dithiocarbamate, hybrid semiconductor nanoparticles of ZnS and HgS are formed by thermal decomposition at 180 °C on an HDA surface. The nanocomposite of metal sulfide/PMMA was designated with nanoparticles of metal sulfide embedded into PMMA polymer matrix as shown by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR spectroscopy). Following TGA measurements, the temperature of metal sulfide nanocomposite was observed to be greater than that in the earlier model. ZnS- and HgS- sized nanoparticles were analyzed using TEM to be ranging from 3-5 and 6-12 nm respectively.
