• Copper Nanoparticles
• Poly(vinyl alcohol) Coated
• Solution-Phase Chemical Reduction Method

We have developed a new solution-phase chemical reduction method for the synthesis of poly(vinyl alcohol) coated copper nanoparticles in aqueous solution. Copper nitrate is used as the precursor, sodium hypophosphite as the reducing agent, and poly(vinyl alcohol) as the coating agent. The synthesis of copper nanoparticles could be completed within several hours and the copper nanoparticles in powder form could be stored within one week in ambient condition. In Ar atmosphere, the complete thermal decomposition temperature of coated layer was lower than 450 degrees C. The antioxidative properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) coated copper nanoparticles were evaluated compared to that of polyvinylpyrrolidone coated copper nanoparticles.
