Claim:
1. A method for making a polymer having a matrix that has nanostructures incorporated into the matrix of the polymer, comprising: a. mixing a precursor solution for the polymer comprising bis(diethylene glycol)diallylcarbonate monomer with a precursor for the nanostructures selected from titanium iso-propoxide, titanium (IV) chloride, potassium titanyl oxalate, aluminum iso-propoxide, aluminum tri-tert-butoxide, aluminum tri-sec-butoxide, aluminum triethoxide, aluminum pentanedionate, zirconium iso-propoxide, zirconium tert-butoxide, zirconium butoxide, zirconium ethoxide, zirconium 2,4-pentanedionate, and zirconium trifluoropentane-dionate, to form a mixture, wherein the mixture consists of the precursor solution for the polymer and the precursor for the nanostructures; b. forming nanostructures in the mixture from the precursor of the nanostructures, wherein the nanostructures are surrounded by the precursor solution for the polymer when the nanostructures are formed; and c. forming the polymer from the precursor solution of the polymer so that the nanostructures are incorporated into the matrix of the polymer.
