Popis: A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of octanethiol was vapor-deposited onto the surface of copper ( Cu ) nanoparticles as a means of preventing oxidation. The presence of octanethiol on the surface of Cu nanoparticles was verified using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The electrical resistance of copper nanoparticles with deposition of a 12-nm thickness of octanethiol on the surface was found to be 100 times greater than that of uncoated powders, indicating uniform SAM coating of the particles.
