Inorganic particle/polymer composites are described that involve chemical bonding between the elements of the composite. In some embodiments, the composite composition includes a polymer having side groups chemically bonded to inorganic particles. Furthermore, the composite composition can include chemically bonded inorganic particles and ordered polymers. Various electrical, optical and electro-optical devices can be formed from the composites. La présente invention concerne des composites de particules inorganiques/polymère qui impliquent la liaison chimique entre les éléments du composite. Dans certaines formes de réalisation, la composition de composite comprend un polymère ayant des groupes latéraux qui sont chimiquement liés à des particules inorganiques. En outre, la composition de composite peut comprendre des particules inorganiques chimiquement liées et des copolymères ordonnés. Divers dispositifs électriques, optiques et électro-optiques peuvent être réalisés à partir desdits composites.
