EFEITO DO HG2+ E DOS ÍONS CU2+, FE2+, NI2+, SN2+ E ZN2+ NA ESTABILIDADE DE NANOPARTÍCULAS DE PRATA: UMA PRÁTICA INTERDISCIPLINAR DE NANOTECNOLOGIA EXPERIMENTAL

The growing predominance of nanoscience and nanotechnology makes it increasingly important that these topics become an integral part of all scientific education. For this reason, in the present work, an interdisciplinary experiment of nanotechnology is introduced. As silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are the most applied nanomaterial in consumer products, the current understanding of their stability is needed. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized using chitosan as a capping agent and a size distribution of 9.7 nm was determined by transmission electron microscopy. After preparation, the AgNPs coll...
