Explicit microstructure and electrical conductivity of epoxy/carbon nanotube and green silver nanoparticle enhanced hybrid dielectric composites

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are promising nanomaterials for improving the dielectric properties of polymer materials for energy storage and micro-capacitor applications. However, the cost of AgNPs limits their wide application. This work describes the synthesi...
