Completely "green" synthesis and stabilization of metal nanoparticles.
TL;DR: In the present Communication, a completely "green" synthetic method for producing silver nanoparticles is introduced, by gentle heating of an aqueous starch solution containing silver nitrate and glucose, which produces relatively monodisperse, starchedsilver nanoparticles.
