Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of nanotechnology. It relates, more particularly, to a process for preparing silver nanoparticles.
  • Metal nanoparticles are widely studied for their optical, electrical, catalytic or biological properties. The size and shape of these particles greatly influence their characteristics. Numerous studies have been carried out in order to define processes that make it possible precisely to control the shape and the size of these different metallic nanoparticles. Various preparation routes have been tested for this purpose, such as chemical reduction, gas condensation, laser irradiation ...
  • silver particles are of great interest. Firstly, their antimicrobial properties resulting from their interaction with thiol, amine, imidazole, carboxyl or phosphate functional groups of living organisms proteins make them suitable for a large number of applications in the medical field.
  • the silver particles when they are dispersed in polymeric organic matrices, they can serve as conductors in electronic and electrotechnical applications.
  • This use is doubly interesting, on the one hand because the resulting conductive formulations can be partially transparent and, on the other hand, because it is possible to induce sintering between the particles to create a crosslinked metal assembly of which the conductive properties are greatly improved.
  • S. Mukherjee proposes the production of an Ag-PAM nanocomposite.
  • a silver salt is mixed with a polymeric agent ( S. Mukherjee: "Nitrogen-mediated interaction in polyacrylamide-silver nanocomposites", Journal of Physics, Condensed Matter 18 2006, 11233-11242 ).
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to propose an easily industrializable silver nanoparticle synthesis route which makes it possible to obtain these particles with good control of their size and shape.
  • the above process is particularly advantageous when the organic silver salt used is selected from silver acetate, silver acetylacetonate, silver citrate, silver lactate or silver pentafluoropropionate.
  • the method according to the invention does not involve toxic product or dangerous for the environment.
  • the reaction conditions are mild and minimize the risks inherent in the reaction.
  • the process for the preparation of silver nanoparticles comprises a first step of mixing 5 g of silver acetate with a solution of 5 g of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) of molecular mass 10000 in 200 ml of water at a temperature of temperature between 40 and 60 ° C, typically at 50 ° C.
  • PVP serves as a nucleating agent and stabilizer, to allow the formation of silver nanoparticles, while avoiding that they agglomerate.
  • a rise in temperature is carried out in 5 minutes to reach a temperature between 60 and 90 ° C, typically 75 ° C.
  • the solution white at the beginning of the reaction, then evolves towards a burne color.
  • the reaction mixture is then left stirring for 45 minutes at 95 ° C.
  • the solution then evolves slowly from a brown color to a green color.
  • the heating is then stopped and the solution is left stirring to reach 35 ° C.
  • the reaction medium is then mixed with a solution of ascorbic acid at 20 mM.
  • Ascorbic acid serves as a reducing agent. It has a coordination affinity with the Ag + ions, while having a limited reduction potential, so as not to agglomerate the reduced silver.
  • the ascorbic acid can initially bind with the Ag + ions stably, allowing the electron transfer to be done in a second time, without agglomeration of silver particles.
  • the reduction potential of ascorbic acid is -0.41V.
  • Other reducing agents with a reduction potential typically less than + 0.2V, preferably less than -0.2V, but greater than -1.5V, preferably greater than -1.2V, preferably greater than -1V may be envisaged.
  • glucose -1.87V reduction potential
  • glucose is a too strong reducing agent and reduces Ag + ions but forming agglomerates.
  • the potentials above are given according to the usual norm in Europe and extracted from: CRC Handbook Series in Organic Electrochemistry, Vol 1, 1976 .
  • the solution is centrifuged to concentrate the polymer matrix containing the silver nanoparticles. It will be noted that the evolution of the reduction reaction can be followed by UV / visible spectroscopy.
  • the analyzes carried out on the final product make it possible to determine that 80% of the silver introduced in the form of silver acetate is converted into metallic silver (Ag 0 ).
  • the figures 1 and 2 are images obtained by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) that measure the size of nanoparticles and their distribution. The size of the nanoparticles obtained is between 3 and 50 nm.
  • PVP polyethylene Glycol
  • PEG polypropylene glycol
  • the term PVP, PEG or polypropylene glycol polymer includes copolymers having one of these monomers as a unit.
  • the silver nanoparticles obtained have a diameter of less than 100 nm, more particularly less than 80 nm, more particularly less than 50 nm. Particles with a diameter of around 2 nm could be detected. These particles are dispersed in the polymer matrix at a concentration greater than 1 M, particularly greater than 2M, more particularly greater than 3M.
