Abstract: A method of producing nanoparticles by using chemical curing. The method includes depositing a metal thin film on a substrate, applying an insulator precursor on a metal thin film, and adding a curing agent and a catalyst to the insulator precursor to perform the chemical curing. The method also includes mixing metal powder and an insulator precursor, applying a mixture on a substrate, and adding a curing agent and a catalyst to the mixture to perform the chemical curing. Since the chemical curing process is used in the method, it is possible to form nanoparticles by using a simple process at low cost while a high temperature process such as thermal curing is not used.
