In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were successfully synthesized via chemical reduction method. Silver nitrate (AgNO3), was used as a precursor, Sodium Borohydride (NaBH4) as a reducing agent and Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB) as a surfactant. The effect of reaction temperature, concentration of AgNO3 and NaCl were investigated in order to synthesize AgNPs with uniform shape and narrow particles distribution. The synthesized AgNPs was characterized by UV-VIS, TEM, XRD, and FESEM while; the average size was measured by Image-J software. XRD diffraction peak confirm that the samples prepared are AgNPs based on the peak position at 38.4° and 44.8°. Synthesis parameter at 60°C, 1.00 mM and 3.0 mM of reaction temperature, concentration of AgNO3 and NaCl respectively shows an optimum condition which produced AgNPs with narrow particle distribution, no agglomeration and uniform spherical shape at the end of reaction. The addition of NaCl affected the state of the reaction solution which is pH. This study shows solution at pH 7.5 gave better particles formation with no appearance of agglomerated particles.

The implementation of aqueous to organic phase transfer technique in this study is aimed to improve particles dispersivity in the epoxy polymeric system (composite preparation).
