Stabilized metal nanoparticles and methods for production thereof

摘要: Processes for synthesizing metal nanoparticles, particularly copper are described. The processes can involve reacting an insoluble complex of a salt with reducing agent in reaction mixture containing primary amine first surfactant, secondary second and diamine chelating third surfactant. More specifically, forming nanoparticles solution salt, surfactant; allowing the to form from solution; combining complex; complex. Such be about 10 nm or smaller size, more 3 6 have fusion temperature 200° C. lower.
