A STUDY ON SYNTHESIS AND APPLICATION OF NANOPARTICLES

Abstract

Due to the wide variety of novel applications in different areas of industry, nanoparticles of valuable materials such as gold, silver and palladium have gained tremendous interest in recent years. In particular, silver nanoparticles have a major interest in medical applications, like highly effective non-toxic antibacterial agents and industrial applications, like inkjet inks comprising well-uniform dispersions of silver nano-sized particles that are useful for electronic circuit manufacturing. It is critical that silver nanoparticles require the simple and low-cost development of not only nano-sized particles, but also the synthesis of nanoparticles. Many synthetic methods for silver nanoparticles have been researched over the past few decades. The goal of this paper is to review the various synthesis routes and applications of silver nanoparticles. In particular, focused on our current data, we mainly present several approaches to preparing silver nanoparticles and their characteristics and also applications. The emphasis is on the effective and efficient synthesis and possible application of pure colloidal silver nanoparticles with high electrical conductivity.
