VARMA, R. S. AND M. N. NADAGOUDA. EFFECT OF POLY (ETHYLENE GLYCOL) ON THE FORMATION OF NANOSTRUCTURES: A FACILE SUSTAINABLE APPROACH FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANORODS USING MICROWAVE IRRADIATION. Presented at 41st International Microwave Power Symposium, IMPI, Vancouver, BC, CANADA, August 01 - 03, 2007.

Impact/Purpose:

To inform the public.

Description:

Bulk synthesis of silver nanorods employing poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) under microwave irradiation is reported. The formation of nanorods or particulate morphology is dependent on the PEG concentration. This greener method uses no surfactants or reducing agents and employs a benign water soluble solvent, PEG.
