The addition of inorganic nanoparticles to polymers causes changes in the properties and applications of both the nanoparticles and polymers. In this review article the functionalization of nanoparticles, grafting of polymers on nanoparticles, properties, and applications of a number of nanoparticle-polymer composites are discussed. It can be seen that in all these cases attempts have been made to uniformly disperse nanoparticles in polymer matrix for the purpose of gaining stability and processability. This review is limited to the recent developments in the field of metal/metal oxide nanoparticles only. The carbon nanotube functionalized with polymer was seen as a very large area and it is omitted here due to size constraints.
