Hybrid organic/silver nanoparticle thermoplastic films have been prepared using a single step process where the silver nanoparticles were formed during a cure cycle applied to the film.  TEM images demonstrate the ability of our technique to produce silver nanoparticles in the semi-crystalline polymer Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF); however, the current laboratory focus is on characterizing the diameter growth and inter-particle distance as a function of time and temperature using the techniques of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction (XRD).  Using the Beaucage model, the SAXS data demonstrates that the particle size reaches equilibrium after approximately 70 minutes of curing at 240^oC.  This result is also observed in the XRD results where the half width of the diffraction peaks becomes smaller quickly during the initial hour. In a parallel experiment using DSC, the exothermic heat flow increases rapidly during the first hour but does not reach completion until almost 150 minutes.
