Embedding metal and metal‐oxide nanoparticles into a Teflon AF matrix using two solution‐phase synthesis techniques has been developed and exemplified using silver, gold, palladium, and nickel nanoparticles. The nanocomposite materials (see Figure) exhibit greatly improved chemical stability and can find applications in optoelectronics, catalysis, and as protective coatings.
