Optimization of parameters for the synthesis of bimodal Ag nanoparticles by Taguchi method

Bimodal Ag nanoparticles were synthesized by modified precipitation process. Taguchi analysis was used in this study and the reaction time and temperature were the most influencing parameter on the particle size and the size distribution, respectively. The optimal conditions were determined by using Taguchi method and nano-sized Ag particles with bimodal shape were obtained.
