title: Synthesis of polymer stabilized silver and gold nanostructures.
abstract: This review article is focused on the various approaches that have been made to synthesize metal nanoparticles with predetermined shape, size, and fair stability. Due emphasis has been given on polymer stabilized nanoparticles. In addition use of other varieties of stabilizers like inorganic salts, organic compounds, organic solvent, biological molecules, etc. have also been discussed. Finally, formation of two and three-dimensional nanostructures like nanowires, nanodiscs, nanoprisms has also been revealed.
