Those silver nanoparticles synthesized under continuous flow remained stable in terms of optical response, morphology and size distribution even after 48 months of storage at 24 °C without light protection. The best results in terms of colloidal stability were obtained after synthesizing those nanoparticles at 70 C in the presence of an excess of glucose when the continuous flow configuration was used to complete the reaction within 9 min. In contrast, analogous experiments carried out in batch conditions required a much longer period to achieve similar results but with much lower stability and a higher polydispersity, especially in the long-term storage range. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/PRI-PIBAR-2011-1366 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 0.876 2018 Chemical Engineering (miscellaneous) 2018 Q1 Waste Management and Disposal 2018 Q1 Process Chemistry and Technology 2018 Q1 Pollution 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Gioria, Esteban Hueso, José L.
