Self-Assembled Stable Silver Nanoclusters and Nanonecklace Formation:Poly(methylhydrosiloxane)-Mediated One-Pot Route to Organosols

摘要

Nanometer-sized particles of metals and semiconductors have been investigated intensively in recent years.In this context,silver nanoparticles are of great interest due to their role in photographic processes,their utility as substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS),3 and also their application in catalysis.Silver nanocrystallites,mostly hydrosols,have been widely studied because of the ease of their preparation.
