Preparation of silver nanoparticles stabilized on the surface of polystyrene microspheres

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Silver nanoparticles stabilized on the surface of polystyrene microspheres have been prepared by reducing silver ammine with formaldehyde, without surface activation of the microspheres. The size distributions of the nanoparticles have been obtained, and the optical absorption spectra of the synthesized nanomaterials have been measured.
