Abstract
As a new method for nanoparticles preparation, magnetron sputtering of metal atoms and clusters into organic liquids has been intensively used recently. In this study, metallic copper nanoparticles dispersed in pentaerythritol ethoxylate were prepared by this process. Their size control was achieved by controlling the sputtering current. Specific absorption at ca. 580 nm was detected by UV-Vis measurement which is attributed to the specific plasmon absorption of metallic copper. TEM observation also revealed the formation of metallic nanoparticles.
