Demand on nanotechnologies product initiate to many studies and investigations to produce better applications. In this research, the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) were synthesized successfully to fabricated a nanofiber by using electrospinning method. The ratio of CMC and PVA is 3:7 with the concentration of 1.5 wt% and 11 wt% respectively. It was then blended into different volume of AgNPs. The surface morphology of CMC/PVA incorporated with AgNPs at 6.67 v/v%, 13.33 v/v% and 20 v/v% were observed under field emission scanning electron microscope shown uniform and smooth nanofibers with average diameter of 126.90 ± 27.56, 126.90 ± 27.50, 141.26 ± 25.66 and 114.86 ± 23.79 nm respectively. Thermo gravimetric analysis discovered the higher weight loss of 88.12 % in fiber containing 6.67 v/v% of AgNPs. Meanwhile, FTIR result demonstrated that all nanofibers presented O-H group in range of 3300 - 3600 cm¯¹ and C-O stretching vibrations in range of 1055 - 1138 cm-1. All peaks showed the shiffness to the left as the amount of AgNPs were increased. Hence, the study on the properties of CMC/PVA incorporated with AgNPs nanofibers might be suitable as reference for various applications such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, water filter, sensors and energy storage.
