Abstract Ultrafine metal particles immobilized on fine copolymer particles were produced by reduction of copolymer particles–metal ion complexes. Submicrometer‐size copolymer particles containing nitrogen, prepared by emulsifier‐free emulsion polymerization, were applied. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation and X‐ray diffraction analysis indicated that ultrafine noble metal particles with diameter below 10 nm were formed and uniformly immobilized on the surface of copolymer particles. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
