Dual plasma synthesis of functionalized metal nanoparticles: from enhanced surface properties to stable nanofluids

This thesis presents a dual plasma process allowing for the single-step synthesis of surface functionalized metal nanoparticles. The process uses a pulsed cathodic arc discharge to erode a metal target and form nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are then coated in flight through plasma polymerizatio...
