Dear Nasrine Boughezala, it is a technique that involves the polymerization of a monomer(s) in the presence of nanoparticles/Nanomaterials so that nanocomposites are formed. Thare are many benifits consequently gained in terms of times of preparation and workup, and cost. Please have a look at the following links. My Regards

Dear Nasrine,

The technique is easy and it involves a simple reaction between the monomer and an oxidizing agent. Selecting the latter, as well as the solvent in which you will do the polymerization, requires special attention.
