The role of organic polymers in the structure of cometary dustSeveral phenomena observed in P/Halley and other comets indicate additional fragmentation of dust particles or dust aggregates in cometary atmospheres. The disintegration of dust aggregates may be explained by sublimation of polymerized formaldehyde - POM - which play a role as binding material between submicron individual particles.
