Silver Nanowire Synthesis and Characterization

This resource, provided by Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support Center (NACK Center), is a 12-page guide for a lab on silver nanowire synthesis and characterization. Throughout the lab, students will investigate the synthesis of silver nanowires, gain experience in nanoscale characterization, and learn how substrate morphology affects nanostructure formation. The lab guide includes background information on nanowires and their preparation, materials needed for the lab, and the lab procedure. Also included are instructions around remote access connection, which allows for the remote, nanoscale characterization of samples from the classroom activity
