Hey Steemians!
Today, I want to make a contribution to the sciencepic initiative.
The picture shows dry silver nanoparticles in a centrifugation tube. They were synthesized from silver nitrate in a mixture of oleic acid and oleyle amine and cleaned in toluene. The particles have a diameter of about 10 nm. After the evaporation of toluene, the shown picture was taken.
These kind of nanoparticles may be interesting e.g. for antibacterial applications or for metallurgy processes.
See you next time!
