Abstract

Light sensitive colloidal particles of copper hydrous oxides were prepared at interfaces of exopolymeric materials. Dislike copper oxide or hydroxide nanoclusters were obtained which might be useful as p-type semiconductors. The colloidal Cu2O xH2O and Cu(OH)2 particles reveal fractal dimensions of D = 2.15 ±0.05 for Cu(OH)2 and D= 1.75 ±0.07 for Cu2O xH20.
