Core@shell Cu/hydrocarbon plasma polymer nanoparticles (NPs) have been prepared using a gas aggregation cluster source followed by in‐flight plasma polymer coating of produced Cu NPs. Conventional plasma polymerization of vapors of n‐Hexane or acetone has been applied. It is shown that this strategy for core@shell NPs production enables to achieve homogeneous shells with thickness in nanometer scale without impact on the properties of metallic cores (crystallinity, optical properties). In addition, it has been proved that the chemical properties of shells may be controlled by use of different organic precursors that enables production of NPs with different wettabilities.
