We report on etching of polyacrylic acid-stabilised silver nanoparticles in the presence of glutathione (GSH). The kinetics of the etching of the initial particles, accompanied by formation of smaller silver particles was interpreted based on in situ, time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments.
