Transparent nanocomposites of polyhedral oligomerjc silsesqu1oxanes (poss)

摘要

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) arc an important class of nanoscale hybrid inorganic-organic hybrid materials, that have been incorporated into organic polymers via melt blending as well as copolymerization. When effectively incorporated into polymer systems, these nanoscale fillers have been shown to improve the thermomechanical properties of materials that range from polyethylene to epoxy networks, as well as importing resistance to singlet oxygen and decreased flammability.
