Synthesis and photophysical investigations of silver nanoparticles inside aqueous and acetonitrile microemulsion

Abstract

newline The thesis describes a facile synthesis of silver nanoparticles AgNPs within both aqueous and nonaqueous microemulsions with very high optical quality which are subsequently used to perform several photophysical studies The content of the thesis has been spread into seven chapters In Chapter 1 a brief introduction of optical properties of metal nanoparticles MNPs structural and dynamical characteristics of microemulsions primarily formed by an anionic surfactant sodium dioctylsulfosuc newline
