Experimental optimization of the formation of silver dendritic particles by electrochemical technique

Abstract

Silver dendritic particles were prepared by an electrochemical technique using the Taguchi method. Concentration of reactants, reaction temperature, reaction time, and current density were chosen as significant parameters. As a result, the optimal conditions were determined by the Taguchi method and silver dendritic particles with a size of 8 mu m were synthesized. (c) 2005 Acta Materialia Inc.
