Abstract

The incorporation of metal nanoparticles into polymers has resulted in the origination of a new class of materials that have found fascinating interest in biomedical, catalytic, optical and electronic as well as quantum‐size domain applications. This review article describes different strategies that have been adopted for the synthesis of metal nanocomposite materials with polymers and gel macromolecules (hydrogels and nanogels).
