TL;DR: In this article, copper nanoparticles were synthesized through the chemical reduction of copper sulfate with sodium borohydride in water without inert gas protection, and ascorbic acid was employed as a protective agent to prevent the nascent Cu nanoparticles from oxidation during the synthesis process and in storage.

TL;DR: In this paper, a chemical reduction method for preparing colloidal copper nanoparticles in water and ethylene glycol (EG) was reported, which was characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-visible spectrophotometry (UV-vis).

TL;DR: In this article, a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is used as both size controller and capping agent, and ethylene glycol acts both as solvent and reducing agent.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a silver nanoparticles ink synthesis targeting conductive patterns for micro fabricated devices by inkjet printing technology, which was composed of silver colloid with an average particle diameter less than 10 nm.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of some results obtained in inkjet printing technology to develop microfabrication techniques at Laboratory for Nanotechnology (LNT) is presented, in particular conductive ink, study of printed patterns, as well as application of these to the realization of radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags on flexible substrates.
