“…], similar to hyperbranched molecules, are a group of precise cage-like hybrid nanoparticles with an intrinsic rigid inorganic cage [(SiO 1.5 ) n , T n ] and abundant external free organic groups (R). , Their organic–inorganic hybrid character, high reactivity, and unique structure generally confer excellent mechanical, − thermal, − dielectric, ,, specific self-assembly, − and viscoelastic properties , to POSS-based materials. Recently, with the assistance of reversible bonds, some robust healable materials have been investigated. ,− Nevertheless, all of the reported studies focused on T 8 POSS, the component’s equivalence and topological structure diversity of POSSs (e.g., larger POSS) actually have great potential in engineering the role of topology in structure–property relationships ,,,− yet never been explored for this goal. Compared with the T 8 compound, larger T 10 and T 12 POSSs have identical chemical components yet lower density and symmetry, higher functionality, and larger cage size (Figure a). ,− We envision that such characteristics may contribute to looser stacking, leading to higher molecular mobility, while higher functionality may contribute to denser internal framework structures, leading to better mechanical properties.…”
