The purpose of the experiment is to see how different size of Ag nanoparticles conductivity will vary under different temperature with using 2 methods. The first method was Flash Sintering. 10 nm Ag nanoparticles were exposed to 1.6 kV, 2.7 kV, and 3.8 kV. The second method that I used was thermal sintering. 10 nm, 50 nm, and 100 nm Ag nanoparticles were kept in an oven for 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90 minutes, under 180 Celsius, 200 Celsius, and 220 Celsius, to measure the conductivity of the samples. As a result of the experiment, the samples that were exposed to the highest pulses and the highest temperature were electrically conductive. The 10 nm Ag nanoparticles had higher conductivity than others.
