Abstract: Monomelic materials are described, comprising inorganic nanoparticles having covalently bonded to their surface at least one polymerizable organic moiety, preferably an ethylenically unsaturated organic moiety. These monomeric materials combine desirable properties of the inorganic particulate material and of the organic monomer, in addition to having the unique properties of nano-sized particles.

Abstract: Disclosed is a functionalized nanoparticle of a metal oxide. The nanoparticle has at its surface at least one organic moiety. The moiety is covalently bonded to the surface of the nanoparticle via at least one Si—O bond. The moiety has a functional group suitable for nucleophilic substitution. The nucleophilic substitution reaction can be used to attach any desired organic compound to the surface of the nanoparticle.
