Abstract: Herein, we report the facile synthesis of ZnSe/HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose) nanocomposites by in-situ method. The biodegradable HPMC polymer acts as capping molecule as well as polymer matrix . The optical and structural properties of ZnSe/HPMC nanocomposites were studied by optical absorption, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD and TEM measurements. Size of the ZnSe nanoparticles was tuned by controlling the pH of the reaction. As prepared ZnSe nanoparticles were spherical in shape, homogeneously distributed in the polymer and XRD patterns exhibit face centred cubic phase. The present method is a novel approach for the synthesis of ZnSe nanoparticles using HPMC as a capping molecule as well as matrix to develop nanocomposite.
