Silver particles have been formed from silver nitrate by chemical reduction in phenolic resin aqueous solution under basic conditions. The silver particles were covered with phenolic resins and highly dispersed in the materials. The materials are composed of metals and resins in nanometer scale and expected to show new functional properties. We named this hybrid material as metal hybrid resin (MHR). It was found that mechanical strength of cured MHR was higher than that of general phenolic resins and the metal adhesion property of MHR was improved. From these results, MHR is expected to show high performance property in comparison with general phenolic resins.
