UV exposure was 1min) changes of absorbance were<br />

induced by silver photoreduction, at the second (primary<br />

UV exposure was 2 min) – by photodegradation of<br />

polymer and the third case (primary UV exposure was 3<br />

min) – by silver nanoparticles agglomeration and<br />

polymer degradation. Morphology of Ag/PVP<br />

nanocomposites is presented in Fig 3 and Fig. 4 and Fig.<br />

We found that the main Ag/PVP nanocomposite layers<br />

structure is very flat 3D (islands) structure. Roughness<br />

(Rq) of these layers after primary UV irradiation varied<br />

from 1.56 nm to 0.87 nm. The secondary UV irradiation<br />

induced changes in roughness and Ag/PVP morphology<br />

was very weak (0.2-0.4 nm).<br />

4. Conclusions<br />

The influence of UV to plasmonic properties and<br />

morphology of Ag/PVP nanocomposites was absorbed<br />

at very short UV irradiation time from 1 min to 7 min.<br />

was investigated. Intensity and position of the surface<br />

plasmon resonance of Ag/PVP are dependent on the UV<br />

irradiation time also on type of UV irradiation (primary<br />

or secondary). Changes of plasmonic properties of<br />

Ag/PVP layers are challenge for new personal UV<br />

dosimeters. We suggest that detectors based on surface<br />

plasmon resonance become a useful tool in both clinical<br />

and scientific areas.<br />
