Synthesis of silver nanodiscs and triangular nanoplates in PVP matrix: Photophysical study and simulation of UV-vis extinction spectra using DDA method

► We have synthesized silver nanodiscs and nanotriangles through seed mediated growth processes. ► Methyl cellulose and polyvinyl pyrrolidone are being used as soft template during the synthesis. ► Simulation of UV-Vis spectra has been carried out using discrete dipole approximation method.
