“…Compared with inorganic materials, organic polymers usually possess lower moduli and poorer thermal stabilities and mechanical properties. The incorporation of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) nanotubes, or nanosheets (e.g., clay [ 1 , 2 ]), graphene [ 3 , 4 , 5 ], carbon nanotubes [ 6 , 7 , 8 ], or polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ] into a polymer matrix is, however, a relatively simple approach toward improving its mechanical and thermal properties.…”
