  A polynomial with rational coefficients is said to be pure with respect to a
rational prime $p$ if its Newton polygon has one slope. In this article, we
prove that the number of irreducible factors of the $n$-th iterate of a pure
polynomial over the rational field $\mathbb Q$ is bounded independent of $n$.
In other words, we show that pure polynomials are {\em eventually stable}.
Consequently, several eventual stability results available in literature
follow; including the eventual stability of the polynomial
$x^d+c\in\mathbb{Q}[x]$, where $c\ne 0,1$, is not a reciprocal of an integer.
In addition, we establish the dynamical irreducibility, i.e., the
irreducibility of all iterates, of a subfamily of pure polynomials, namely
Dumas polynomials with respect to a rational prime $p$ under a mild condition
on the degree. This provides iterative techniques to produce irreducible
polynomials in $\mathbb{Q}[x]$ by composing pure polynomials of different
degrees. During the course of this work, we characterize all polynomials whose
degrees are large enough that are not pure, yet they possess pure iterates.
This implies the existence of polynomials whose shifts are all dynamically
irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$.
