“…The preparation of POSS-based fluorescent materials can be divided into chemical synthesis and physical blending. Recently, a variety of the traditional and the burgeoning chemical synthesis methods have been widely used in the design and synthesis of POSS-based fluorescent materials, such as hydrolytic condensation [ 46 ], hydrosilylation [ 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 ], Heck reaction [ 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ], atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) [ 55 , 56 , 57 ], reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization [ 58 ], ring-opening metathesis polymerization [ 59 ], as well as “click” chemistry reaction [ 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 ]. The method of physical blending is mainly used in the quantum dots (QDs) coated and lanthanide-doped POSS-based fluorescent materials [ 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 ].…”
