The invention discloses a preparing method for a polystyrene microsphere loaded nano-copper composite material, belongs to the field of composite materials and aims at providing a method for preparing the polystyrene microsphere loaded nano-copper composite material through a liquid-phase reduction method. The method includes the following steps that an emulsion polymerization method is used for preparing polystyrene microspheres; then, concentrated sulfuric acid is added, even mixing is conducted, deionized water is used for dilution after a heating reaction, milk white suspending liquid is obtained, deionized water is used for washing the milk white suspending liquid till the milk white suspending liquid is neutral, and then deionized water is used for conducting ultrasonic dispersion; and then a CuSO4 solid is added for ultrasonic treatment for 1 hour, stirring is conducted while water-bath heating is conducted, a NaOH solution is added, even mixing is conducted, then a hydrazine hydrate solution is added, the reaction is continuously carried out for 0.5 h, the mixed solution is washed through distilled water and ethyl alcohol in sequence till no impurity exists in the mixed solution, and black powder is obtained through vacuum drying. The method is simple and fast, no surface active agent needs to be added, nano-copper particles on the surfaces of the polystyrene microspheres are distributed evenly, stability is high, and oxidation is not likely to happen.
