In the last two decades, the importance of nanomaterials in modern technologies has been unquestionable. Metal nanoparticles are frequently used in many areas of science and technology, delivering unprecedented improvements to properties of the conventional materials. This work introduces an effective tool for preparing a highly enriched poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) surface with silver nanoparticles, firmly immobilized in the same surface area on polymer. We showed that besides pristine polymer, this approach may be successfully applied also on laser pre-treated PET with laser-induced periodic surface structures. At the same time, its final nanostructure may be effectively controlled by laser fluence applied during the immobilization process.
