Synthesis and Characterization of Silver Immobilized on Glass Fibers

Article Preview

Abstract:

Silver nano-particles (AgNPs) films were prepared and coated on glass fibers by reduction of [Ag(NH3)2]+ complex with sucrose at temperature of 400-600°C. The effect of AgNO3 solution used as a source of silver was also investigated. The synthesized films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and electron dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX). It was found that both concentration and temperature have an effect on crystal growth, morphology and hydrophobic property of silver nanoparticles on surfaces of glass fibers. High temperature synthesis can partially cause grain coarsening of AgNPs on the films. The hydrophobic property of these silver coarsened grains was found to increase at the calcined temperature of 600°C, leading to easily removed from the surface coating.
