Gold nanoparticles prepared by trisodium citrate reduction of HAuCl 4 in poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) ethanol solution were dispersed into PVP nanofibers by electrospinning. The optical property of Au nanoparticles before and after electrospinning was measured by UV‐Vis. The morphology and distribution of gold nanoparticles in PVP nanofibers were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The influence of the amount of Au added to and the concentration of PVP in electrospinning solution over the morphology of Au/PVP nanofibers were studied. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
