Notes:
To prepare the nano-scale silver carboxylate emulsions and investigate their applicationsin the preparation of nano-scale silver films, the silver citrate emulsion was synthesized through thereaction of silver nitrate with sodium citrate in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as asurface modification agent in water. The emulsion was coated onto the surface of the PET substrateto form a thin latex layer of silver citrate. And this was followed by drying at about 100 °C. Then,the silver citrate thin film was deoxidized by aqueous ascorbic acid. Finally, a translucent silver thinfilm was formed on the surface of the PET substrate. Properties of the silver citrate emulsion andthe silver film on the PET were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), laser particle size analysis, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), thermogravimetry(TG) ,UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy(AFM)and digital multimeter analysis. It was found that the silver citrate particle surface-modified by PVPhas a nano-rod structure and homogeneous size distribution. The nano-rod was about 20 nm indiameter and 200 nm in length. For the UV-visible absorption spectrum of the thin film exhibited anabsorption peak at 430 nm, the silver thin film prepared on the surface of the PET substrate was atypical nano-scale sliver film. Measurements of the sliver thin film at room temperature indicatedthat the silver film was electrically conductive, and the surface resistance was 2.42 k5/cm
