研究目的
To investigate a new production technique incorporating a laminar recirculatory flow system to produce stable high concentration nano-silver colloids.
研究成果
Silver nanoparticles were produced utilizing a new laminar flow 'semi-batch' production method. The colloids were seen to be comparable with commercially available colloids in terms of optical response, size and stability. The colloids were produced within a 15-min period and could be directly applied to thin-film printing of anti-microbial surfaces. Using a weak ionic liquid for nanoparticle production was found to provide size quenching during providing a pathway towards increased size control during the production process.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the need for further research on electrolyte addition and its interaction with nanoparticle concentration at the ablation site to better understand maintaining high density, stable colloids.
