A general method for facile incorporation of water‐soluble metal nanoparticles in carbon‐nanotube (CNT)/polymer composites is described. Gold nanoparticle (AuNP)/CNT/polysulfone (PSf) composites are prepared by the phase‐inversion method (see picture), which involves immobilization of the nanoparticles and coagulation of the soft composite at same time.
