After a description of the principle of and methods for grafting polymer onto the surface of inorganic particles

and a comment on the characteristics and development of various polymer-grafting methods

as well as a review of the applications of organic/inorganic hybrid particle materials

the authors have introduced atom transfer radical polymerization(ATRP) surface grafting

pointing out that the method of ATRP surface grafting is of great potential development

and that inorganic particles through surface grafting will have a wide application in high-tech field.
