Metal–polymer nanocomposites, which comprise nanoparticles of metals and/or their oxides and carbides uniformly distributed in stabilizing polymer matrices, are obtained through solid‐phase polymerization of metal‐containing monomers followed by controlled thermolysis of synthesized metal‐containing polymers. The composition, structure and properties of nanocomposites obtained were studied using the methods of X‐ray diffraction, electron microscopy, IR spectroscopy and DSC‐TGA thermal analysis. The main stages and kinetics peculiarities of thermal transformations of metal‐containing monomers were estimated. It is shown that nanoparticles present in these systems have a characteristic core–shell structure that comprises a metal‐containing core and a surface layer, i.e., a polymer shell.
