Abstract
Metal nanomaterials and nanostructures may be formed via shearing force in the presence of a reactant.
Claims19
A process for preparing a nanostructure comprising:
- adding a metal to a liquid reaction solution;
- forming a metal oxide on a surface of the metal;
- shearing off metal oxide particles from the surface of the metal;
- allowing the sheared metal oxide particles to self-assemble into nanomaterials;
- and
- casting the self-assembled nanomaterials on a substrate to form the nanostructure.
