COVER STORY
Bringing more to Polymers by Inorganic Components

The functionalization of polymers by inorganic components has been studied, e.g., in the fire retardant treatment of nylon-6,6 by addition of clay minerals. Recently, various inorganic components such as clay minerals and metal nanoparticles are used for the functionalization of polymers. Inorganic polymers consisting of various atoms beside carbon are also studied energetically. This issue is featuring the latest research trends about the contribution of inorganic components for polymer sciences.
