Abstract Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have application potential in diverse areas ranging from wound healing to catalysis and sensing. The possibility for optimizing the physical, chemical and optical properties for an application by tailoring the shape and size of silver nanoparticles has motived much research on methods for synthesis of size- and shape-controlled AgNPs. The shape and size of AgNPs are reported to vary depending on choice of the Ag precursor salt, reducing agent, stabilizing agent and on the synthesis technique used. This chapter provides a detailed review on various synthesis approaches that may be used for synthesis of AgNPs of desired size and shape. Silver nanoparticles may be synthesized using diverse routes, including, physical, chemical, photochemical, biological and microwave -based techniques. Synthesis of AgNPs of diverse shapes, such as, nanospheres, nanorods, nanobars, nanoprisms, decahedral nanoparticles and triangular bipyramids is also discussed for chemical-, photochemical- and microwave-based synthesis routes. The choice of chemicals used for reduction and stabilization of nanoparticles is found to influence their shape and size significantly. A discussion on the mechanism of synthesis of AgNPs through nucleation and growth processes is discussed for AgNPs of varying shape and sizes so as to provide an insight on the various synthesis routes. Techniques, such as, electron microscopy, spectroscopy, and crystallography that can be used for characterizing the AgNPs formed in terms of their shape, sizes, crystal structure and chemical composition are also discussed in this chapter.

Actualmente las nanopartículas (NPs) son un área de intensa investigación científica, debido a una amplia variedad de aplicaciones potenciales en campos tales como biomédicos, ópticos, electrónicos, nano química o agricultura. Las propiedades de estas nanoestructuras están en función de su tamaño y forma, obteniendo propiedades específicas de acuerdo a la variedad de dichas características mencionadas. Por ello se realiza un análisis bibliográfico de diferentes investigadores que realizaron un estudio riguroso acerca de los diferentes métodos de síntesis de nanopartículas de cobre (NPsCu) y nanopartículas plata (NPsAg), así como también los factores que modifican la forma y tamaño de partícula. Como conclusión principal podemos señalar que el control de la forma y tamaño de las nanopartículas se debe a factores que puedan ser controlables. Palabras clave.- Síntesis de nanopartículas, nanopartículas de cobre, nanopartículas de plata ABSTRACT Nanoparticles (NPs) are currently the subject of intense scientific research due to a wide variety of potential applications in various fields such as medicine, optics, electronics, nano‐chemistry and agriculture. The properties of these nanostructures depend on their size and shape, and specific properties can be obtained by varying these characteristics. For this reason, a bibliographical analysis was carried out covering different investigators who studied the various methods of synthesis of copper (NPsCu) and silver (NPsAg) nanoparticles, as well as the factors that modify the shape and size of these particles. A main conclusion of this study is that the shape and size of the nanoparticles depend upon factors that can be controlled. Keywords.- nanoparticle synthesis, copper nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles.

ABSTRACTBy using the citrate reduction procedure we have synthesized Ag nanoparticles, applying several conditions of preparation, being after characterized by UV-visible spectrophotometry. Following a logical sequence, the starting experiment was realized varying the reaction time, after that it was varied the concentration of the reductor agent, and finally it was varied the volume of the reductor agent. According to this methodology, TEM measurements show that firstly we have nanostructures with different shape and size, whereas in the last part of the experiment we have Ag nanoparticles with homogeneous shape and size.

ABSTRACTWe have developed a highly modular electrostatically-mediated approach to colloid-colloid and polymer-colloid networks using ‘building block’ and ‘bricks and mortar’ self-assembly methodologies, respectively. The former approach involved functionalization of one type of nanoparticle building block with a primary amine and a counterpart building block with a carboxylic acid derivative. After combining these two systems, acid-base chemistry followed by immediate charge-pairing resulted in the spontaneous formation of electrostatically-bound mixed-nanoparticle constructs. The shape and size of these ensembles were controlled via variation of particle size and stoichiometries. In the ‘bricks and mortar’ approach, a functionalized polymer is combined with complementary nanoparticles to provide mixed polymer-nanoparticle networked structures. A notable feature is the inherent porosity resulting from the electrostatic assembly. The shape and size of these ensembles were controlled via variation of particle size, stoichiometries and the order in which they were added.
