Eight samples (a–h) of silver ion materials: (a) 0.5% AgNO₃; (b) 0.5% AgNO₃ and 0.5% Tween-80; (c) 0.5% AgNO₃, 0.5% Tween-80, and 0.5% AMP; (d) 0.5% AgNO₃, 0.5% Tween-80, and 0.5% PVP; (e) 0.5% AgNO₃, 0.5% AMP, and 0.5% PVP; (f) 0.5% AgNO₃ and 0.5% PVP; (g) 0.5% AgNO₃ and 0.5% AMP; and (h) 0.5% AgNO₃, 0.5% AMP, 0.5% Tween-80, and 0.5% PVP. Ultrasonic treatment for each sample was for 10 minutes. The size and morphology of silver particles in various samples were observed. TEM was used to observe the size and morphology of silver particles in various prepared solutions.
