Use of Pluronic P103 Triblock Copolymer as Structural Agent during Synthesis of Hybrid Silver Nanoparticles

Figure 5

TEM micrographs of Ag-NPs synthesized at 25°C. (a) and (b) show Ag-NPs synthesized without Pluronic P103 while (c) shows the particle size distribution histogram. (d) and (e) show Ag-NPs synthesized with 0.01 wt% P103 and (f) the particle size distribution histogram. (g) and (h) show Ag-NPs synthesized with 1 wt% P103 and (i) the particle size distribution histogram.
