A novel and simple synthesis of semiconducting and metallic nanoparticles is described that involves the in‐situ formation of particles in a high dielectric‐constant polymeric matrix that stabilizes the nanoparticles and also enables easy processing into films and fibers at ambient conditions. The procedure is applied to an array of different metal and semiconducting particles such as the CuS particles shown in the Figure.
