| Summary: | Silver nanoparticles were synthesized via solution-phase chemical reduction of silver nitrate with ethanol in the presence of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). Successfully synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometer and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The solvent used, presence of capping agent PVP and its molar ratio (in terms of repeating unit) relative to silver nitrate, heating time, and incident microwave radiation power all played important roles in the formation of spherical silver nanoparticles. |
