Effect of Thermal Treatment on Nano- and Micro-Copper Particles for Jewelry Making

Copper nanoparticles are being applied in the biosensors, engineering, electronic devices, and technology fields. A key advantage of nanomaterials is that their properties differ from bulk with same composition. However, application nano-copper particles for jewelry artwork has not yet been revealed. We discovered compared nano-sized copper fabrication micro-copper particles. The nano- micro-sized were synthesized mixed organic binders water content to produce an alternative clay-like material creating handmade artwork. article addresses effects thermal treatment on behavior development physical differently sized Their depend strongly size starting heating conditions. investigated influence treatment, rate, firing temperature, holding time optimize conditions wearing.
