Nanomaterials 2020, 10, 555 10 of 12 4. Conclusions The reduction of silver ions and the generation of nanoparticles were realized successfully by means of an atmospheric pressure plasma source. It was possible to observe the formation kinetics of silver nanoparticles in situ via UV/VIS-spectroscopy in a detailed temporal resolution. By transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the time-dependent alterations of the nanoparticle shape could be illustrated properly. The shape and number distribution were found to be in good accordance with the absorbance signals from the UV/VIS spectra. With this knowledge, clues arose to estimate the particle formation process in two different main synthesis phases within the considered time range. The analytical method of in situ UV/VIS-spectroscopy can be used to control the atmospheric pressure plasma reduction process in order to gain silver nanoparticles in a specifically defined quality. For future research, the influence of plasma parameters such as working gas, power input, and working distance on nanoparticle synthesis should be evaluated by in situ UV/VIS spectrometry. In a further step, the plasma-generated nanoparticles could be applied in situ on fiber materials such as non-woven fabrics, especially to make use of the antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles in this case. Due to its scalability, the plasma source usage is excellently suitable for possible industrial applications.
