Abstract

The preparation of metal nanoparticles generally requires the use of mostly toxic reducing agents according to state‐of‐the‐art procedures. Here, we report that polysorbate 80, a polymeric nonionic surfactant, when reacted with a gold salt in water at room temperature, yields well‐dispersed gold nanoparticles. Furthermore, we could control the particle size by simply altering concentration or temperature. The synthetic procedure presented here is easy, inexpensive, straightforward, and user‐friendly.

## Abstract Silver nanoparticles have been used for a long time and recently various methods have been additionally developed for their production. Here we report for the first time a solid‐state high‐speed vibration milling method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles, in which poly(vinylpyrro
