Process for producing silver nanowires and agent for controlling growth of silver nanowires

摘要

Provided is a process for silver nanowire production in which the major-axis length of the silver nanowires can be controlled in a wide range and an agent for controlling the growth of silver nanowires. A process for silver nanowire production which is characterized in that an agent for controlling the growth of silver nanowires which comprises a polymer obtained by polymerizing one or more polymerizable monomers comprising an N-substituted (meth)acrylamide is reacted with a silver compound in a polyol at 25-180° C. The agent for controlling the growth of silver nanowires is characterized by comprising a polymer which has units of an N-substituted (meth)acrylamide as a polymerizable monomer.

1. A process for producing silver nanowires comprising reacting an agent for controlling silver nanowire growth with a silver compound in a polyol at a temperature from 25 to 180° C., wherein the agent is a polymer obtained by polymerizing polymerizable monomers containing monomers of a N-substituted (meth)acrylamide,
wherein the N-substituted (meth)acrylamide is expressed by general formula (1), or N-acryloylmorpholine, wherein R1 denotes a hydrogen atom or methyl group, R2 a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1-6 carbon atoms, and R3 a hydroxyalkyl group having 1-5 carbon atoms.
