Silver nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized using a chemical reduction method at room temperature using glucose as a reducing agent, silver nitrate as a source of nitrate, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a stabilizing agent. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of the mole ratio of reducing agent Glu / Ag and percentage (%) PVA (b/v) in the silver nanoparticle synthesis of the resulted product. Product characterization was analyzed by UV-Vis Spectrophotometers, XRD, and TEM. The Analysis of the UV-Vis spectra showed that the most stable particles were silver nanoparticles used PVA 3% and Glu / Ag. 1: 8 on λ max 415 to 417 nm. TEM’s characterization showed that silver nanoparticles were spherical with a dominant size range of 12,28 nm – 38,45 nm nm. The newly synthesized silver nanoparticles may have a potential for antibacterial applications.
