Abstract—The morphology of complexly organized structures formed in polymer matrix under the action of
silver nanoparticles has been investigated using atomic-force microscopy. The analysis of the set of experimen-
tal data and the results of the theoretical calculations of the pair interaction potentials has made it possible to
propose the mechanism of formation of the “flower” structure, which is based on the interactions in the far
potential minimum.

Key words: self-organization, silver nanoparticles, far potential minimum, aggregation mechanism
