Summary

This chapter reviews the use of metal oxide clusters in producing inorganic-organic hybrid polymers. The formation of active organic groups on the inorganic oxide clusters is described. The connective groups act to connect the metal oxide clusters with various polymers, here mainly PMMA. The prefabrication of the inorganic nano clusters allows the tailoring of specific properties.
