Cobalt nanoparticles were synthesized using reduction of 60Co gamma source with dose range 10-50 kGy in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer as a capping agent. Radiation synthesis has the advantages of without the use of reducing agent and catalyst and the cobalt nanoparticles aggregated...
