Abstract
Monodispersed silver nanowires are formed by a process utilizing a polyol. A capping agent is mixed in the polyol to form a substantially homogeneous solution. The solution is heated to a level below a boiling point of the polyol. The solution is diluted with a diluent which may consist of water and/or alcohol, and the solution is centrifuged to produce the silver nanowires.
