Synthesis of a series of octaalkoxy-substituted cage silsesquioxanes catalyzed by zinc acetate

Abstract

Octaalkoxy-substituted polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (8RO-POSS) is an attractive starting material for producing silicone resins. However, polymers derived from 8RO-POSS via the sol–gel process have seldom been reported owing to their...
