Microwave plasma synthesis can be used to coat individual ceramic nanoparticles with both ceramic and polymer coatings, as reported here. This enables the production of technical parts with properties characteristic of the isolated particles, such as superparamagnetism. The Figure shows the very narrow size distribution of poly(methacrylic acid)‐coated maghemite particles produced with this method.
