Silver nano-particles were confirmed using UV-vis spectropbotometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and FTIR. Increasing the hydrophohic chain length of surfactants increase the amount of silver nano-particles formed in addition to increasing their stability.
