Oligomeric Silsesquioxane

A polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nano-cage can endow gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) with similar properties as can be accomplished with other inorganic nanoparticles; the organic substituents at the cage corners of POSS are more compatible with GPEs.

AbstractA series of Inorganic/organic nanocomposites were prepared by blending cage-like carboxyl-bearing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (carboxyl-POSS) with polymethyl mathacrylate (PMMA) in THF solvent. FTIR and 29Si-NMR were employed to characterize the structures of the nanocomposites. SEM images showed that the as-prepared films were smooth and no aggregation of carboxyl-POSS was observed. TGA and DSC results showed that the incorporation of small amount of nanosize carboxyl-POSS enhanced the thermal stability of PMMA. When 1.0 wt% of carboxyl-POSS was incorporated into PMMA matrix, the Tg and Td increased by 16.9 °C and 21.0 °C, respectively. However, higher POSS contents (>1.0 wt%) would deteriorate the thermal and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites.

Oligomeric Silsesquioxane

A series of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composites containing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) were produced by bulk polymerization. The morphology, thermal and mechanical properties of the composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analyses (DMA). Results show that the octa(3-chloropropyl)-POSS (ocp-POSS) and trisilanolphenyl-POSS (triol-POSS) have high compatibility with PMMA and can be uniformly dispersed into PMMA matrix. The separate incorporation of these two types of POSS contributes to the improvement of thermal stability of PMMA composites. When the content of POSS was 7.5 wt%, the thermal decomposition temperatures (5% mass loss) of PMMA composites with ocp-POSS and triol-POSS were increased by about 104 °C and 130 °C, respectively. The increase of triol-POSS content in the PMMA matrix gave slight enhanced storage modulus before glass transition.
