Abstract
The present invention is directed toward a method for making a polymer that has nanostructures incorporated into the matrix of the polymer. The method of the present invention involves mixing a precursor solution for the polymer with a precursor for the nanostructures to form a mixture. Nanostructures are formed in the mixture from the precursor of the nanostructures, such that the nanostructures are surrounded by the precursor solution for the polymer. The polymer is formed from the precursor solution of the polymer, which results in the nanostructures being incorporated into the matrix of the polymer.
