Abstract

Synthesis of silver nanoparticles stabilized by myristic acids is reported. Bimodal shape of silver nanoparticles was formed by feed rate control using semi-batch method. The synthesized nanoparticles were re-dispersible in solution such as α-terpineol. The α-terpineol solution of these nanoparticles exhibited a surface plasmon resonance in the range around 430nm. This broad absorption band depicted that the silver nanoparticles have an enhanced stability with increasing chain length of the fatty acid. The size of nanoparticles was influenced by the experimental conditions such as temperature, feed rate and reaction time. The nanoparticles were characterized by TEM, UV and XRD analyses.
