Abstract

Interstellar grains represent an important constituent of matter in space. They are necessary to the cooling and heating mechanisms and play an important role in the gas phase composition of molecular clouds. In addition, metallic components are important because they carry the charge inside dense clouds regulating the ion-molecule chemistry in these regions. Despite these facts and active research which is presently lasting since over 50 years, some major questions remain still controversial. According Mathis (1986a) it is crucial to note that the words “interstellar dust” refer to different materials as soon as we consider different space regions as the diffuse ISM, the outer edges of dense clouds, the dark central regions of these clouds.
