Development of TiO2 and TiO2/Fe-based polymeric nanocomposites by single-step laser pyrolysis

► Polymer based nanocomposites provided with TiO2 inorganic cores were synthesized by the single step laser pyrolysis. ► TiCl4 and alternatively methyl methacrylate (MMA) and hexamethyl disiloxane (HMDSO) were used as precursors. ► Major anatase TiO2 phase was identified by XRD. ► Core-shell structural characteristics were primarily found in the TiO2/Fe/HMDSO-based systems.
