Abstract: This paper provides a convenient and simple method for fabricating of large amounts (kilogram-scale) of nanomaterials containing nanoparticles in a polymeric matrix. The encapsulation was done by thermal decomposition of metal containing compounds (MRn; M=Ba, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Nd, Ni, Pt, Re, Ti, Pb, Sr, Sm, W, Zn; R=CO, HCOO, CH₃COO; C₂O₄, C₆H₅CH₂ and so on) in high temperature solutions of polymer (polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide). By using physical methods (Mossbauer spectroscopy, X-ray RED, X-ray emission, SAXS, EXAFS, STM, AFM), the composition and structure of nanoparticles, and their interaction with the polymer matrix are determined is some cases. Particle size measurement (2-30 nm) and magnetic properties showed that the material really contained nanoparticles, which retained their unique properties.
