Functional metal oxide/polymer hybrids with diverse properties (magnetic, optical, and catalytic) are prepared from both aqueous and alcoholic media. As reported on page 451 by Katharina Landfester, Rafael Muñoz‐Espí, and co‐workers, the inorganic nanocrystals are precipitated in situ on the surface of functionalized polymer particles. The image shows iron oxide nanoparticles on the surface of functionalized polystyrene beads.
