Abstract
This review focuses on the synthesis of polymer-inorganic hybrid nanocoposites under microwave irradiation, a research area that has made rapid progress in the recent years. Nowadays, one of the cornerstones of the push towards the future improvements in electronics and optics technology together with the research and development is the decrease in size of the various components used for the device manufacture. The paper discusses the preparation and characterization of polymer nanocomposites composed of layer materials like clays and layered double hydroxides, metal nanoparticles and nanowires as well as carbon based materials (i.e., fullerenes and nanotubes) under microwave conditions. The polymer nanocomposites are grouped accordingly to a such classification.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
