An attempt was made in this work to decorated carbon nanotubes(CNTs) in a polymer matrix using biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (GAgNPs) using Cashew leaves as a reduction agent. The new hybrid epoxy-CNTs+ GAgNPs composites were produced by modified solution-stir-cast method. The microstructure, thermal properties, strength, and electrical conductivity of the produced composites were determined. The electrical conductivity of the epoxy polymer has been enhanced from 5.6x10-13S/cm to 4.80x10-3S/cm for epoxy-0.5%CNTs and 9.1x10-3S/cm epoxy-0.5%CNTs-0.5%GAgNPs. GAgNPs was effective used to improve the strength of conducting epoxy-CNTs for electronic devices. The addition of CNTs and GAgNPs to epoxy increases the glass transition temperature. It was established that GAgNPs can be promising materials to enhanced thermal conductivity, strength, electrical conductivity of epoxy-CNTs and recover the potential reduction for electronic devices application.
