METAL NANOPARTICLES PREPARATION UNDER MICROWAVE IRRADIATION USING SELECTED REDUCTIVE-STABILIZING SUBSTANCES

Searching more efficient and eco-friendly methods of metal nanoparticles synthesis, great attention is increasingly drawn by a possibility of usage some physical factors, which would be able to support the nanometals synthesis processes. The aim of the paper was to try to obtain monodisperse and stable during storage metallic nanoparticles (gold and silver). The method of chemical reduction with the use microwave radiation was conducted. Differentiating factors including the reaction conditions and the impact of selected parameters on the obtained nanomaterials were tested. The key point of the research were the spectrophotometric analysis and determination of size distribution of nanoparticles and their stability over time. In most cases, the desired product was obtained, but depending on the process conditions the nanoproducts were varied in size and stability ...
