Preparation and properties of polystyrene nanocomposites containing dumbbell-shaped molecular nanoparticles based on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane and [60]fullerene

Abstract

POSS–C60 as a novel nanofiller for polymer nanocomposites.

Using POSS–C60 giant molecules as a novel compatibilizer for PS/PMMA polymer blends

“…22 POSS and C 60 alone have unique structures and fascinating properties, POSS and C 60 can be modied with various organic functional groups so they have attracted extensive attention in the eld of polymer nanocomposites and vest polymers with new special functions. In our previous work, 24 we developed a simple method to scale up the synthesis of Janus POSS-C 60 (JPC) and explored its application in polymer reinforcement. The chemical structure of JPC is shown in Fig.…”
