This document provides a summary of a final year project focused on safety issues and precautions for working with silver nanoparticles. The project involves preparing polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and silver nano particles, then testing and characterizing thin films of silver nanoparticles deposited on PDMS substrates with different roughness patterns. It outlines the materials used - including silver nitrate, PDMS, starch, diethylamine, ethanol, and conductive epoxy - and associated risks. The risks of each material are then described individually with regards to inhalation, skin contact, eye contact and ingestion.

Silver nitrate is an
inorganic compound
with chemical
formula AgNO3
Starch is a polymeric
carbohydrate
consisting of a large
number of
glucose units.
Poly dimethyl siloxane
belongs to a group
of polymeric organosilicon
compounds
that are commonly
referred to as silicones
Diethyl Amine is a
flammable, weakly
alkaline liquid. It is
volatile and has a
strong unpleasant
odor.
Ethanol is the principal
type
of alcohol produced by
the fermentation of
sugar by yeast.
It can be used as a
solder replacement for
bonding heat-sensitive
electronic components
and for making
conductive bonds
