Formation of fractal aggregates during green synthesis of silver nanoparticles

Formation of fractal aggregates during green synthesis of silver nanoparticles: "

Abstract  
The aggregation behavior of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) prepared by a green synthesis procedure using starch as the stabilizer
was studied by the small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) technique. The protecting ability of starch was affected by the presence
of NaOH leading to different aggregation behaviors. In all the samples, mass as well as surface fractal regimes were observed.
Assuming spherical form, the radii of nanoparticles were in the range of 11–17 nm.
