Title: Preparation of metal containing polymeric material via laser chemistry

We claim:

1. The method for producing polymeric bodies made of a light-transmitting polymer having at predetermined locations therein fine opaque metal or metal oxide particles which comprises providing a shaped polymeric body having substantially uniformly distributed therethrough a metal-organic compound selected from the group consisting of carbonyls, bis-cyclopentadienyls, arenes, mixed arenes, arene-carbonyl complexes and ferrocene and irradiating with laser light selected areas of said shaped polymeric body, said laser light irradiation acting within said selected areas to decompose at least a portion of said metal-organic compound to provide in said irradiated areas opaque metal or metal oxide particles.
