POSS cage-scrambling-induced gelation of POSS-pendant random copolymers catalyzed by fluoride anions

Progress in the self-assembly of organic/inorganic polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) hybrids

“…126 Several other organic-inorganic BCPs based on POSS cages have been studied during the last decade. [127][128][129][130][131] Pyun and Matyjaszewski prepared PMAPOSS from n-butyl acrylate monomers to form methacryloyl POSS BCPs. 132 133 We extended these BCPs with various volume fractions of each segment and then blended them with phenolic resin (Fig.…”

“…Several other organic–inorganic BCPs based on POSS cages have been studied during the last decade. 127–131 Pyun and Matyjaszewski prepared PMAPOSS from n -butyl acrylate monomers to form methacryloyl POSS BCPs. 132 Hayakawa et al used sequential anionic living polymerization to synthesize PMMA- b -PMAPOSS and PS- b -PMAPOSS [Fig.…”

Enhancement of the mechanical properties of organic–inorganic hybrid elastomers by introducing movable and reversible crosslinks

“…Organic-inorganic hybrid materials have been widely applied to explore new materials and their specific features. [1][2][3] Generally, inorganic fillers, such as clay, [4][5][6][7] silica particles, [8][9][10] metal nanoparticles, [11][12][13] and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes, [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] have been used as composite materials when combined with organic polymers. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), an inorganic polymer, has excellent heat resistance, [21][22][23] transparency, 24,25 biocompatibility, 26,27 and gas permeability 28,29 characteristics; however, its mechanical properties are inferior to those of common organic polymers.…”
