  4. Abstract:
  5. In this study the effects of melt temperature and flow rate of cooling gas on the characteristics of silver nanoparticles have been studied. Transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering techniques have been employed to monitor morphology and particle size of the product. Measurements reveal that higher melt temperatures and higher cooling gas flow rates can decrease particle size. Silver nanoparticles with an average particle size of 35 nm and specific surface of 18.489 m2/g have been obtained at a melt temperature of 1,130 °C with argon flow rate of 20 liters per minute
