Preparation,Tg improvement,and thermal stability enhancement mechanism of soluble poly(methyl methacrylate) nanocomposites by incorporating octavinyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes

The soluble poly(methyl methacrylate‐co‐octavinyl‐polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane) (PMMA–POSS) hybrid nanocomposites with improved T_g and high thermal stability were synthesized by common free radical polymerization and characterized using FTIR, high‐resolution ¹H NMR, ²⁹Si NMR, GPC, DSC, and TGA. The POSS contents in the nanocomposites were determined based on FTIR spectrum, revealing that it can be effectively adjusted by varying the feed ratio of POSS in the hybrid composites. On the basis of the ¹H NMR analysis, the number of the reacted vinyl groups on each POSS molecules was determined to be about 6–8. The DSC and TGA measurements indicated that the hybrid nanocomposites had higher T_g and better thermal properties than the pure PMMA homopolymer. The T_g increase mechanism was investigated using FTIR, displaying that the dipole–dipole interaction between PMMA and POSS also plays very important role to the T_g improvement besides the molecular motion hindrance from the hybrid structure. The thermal stability enhances with increase of POSS content, which is mainly attributed to the incorporation of nanoscale inorganic POSS uniformly dispersed at molecular level. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of semitelechelic POSS‐polymethacrylate hybrids by thiol‐mediated controlled radical polymerization with unusual thermal behaviors

We have developed an efficient and versatile method for the synthesis of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS)‐polymethacrylate hybrids, such as POSS‐poly(methyl methacrylate) (POSS‐PMMA), POSS‐poly(ethyl methacrylate) (POSS‐PEMA), and POSS‐poly(benzyl methacrylate) (POSS‐PBzMA) of controllable molecular weights and low polydispersities by thiol‐mediated radical polymerization at elevated temperature (100 °C). By tuning the reactant concentrations and degree of polymerization of the grafted polymethacrylate chains, POSS content in these hybrid materials could be varied. MALDI‐TOF‐MS analysis of the hybrid molecule shows that the nanoscale POSS moiety is connected to the end of polymethacrylate chain through the sulfur atom bridge. These hybrid materials were further characterized using various techniques such as FTIR, XRD, NMR, TGA, and DSC. In all synthesized hybrids, the incorporation of POSS moiety at the end of polymethacrylate chain resulted in the decrease of glass transition temperature (T_g) compared to that of neat polymethacrylates of comparable molecular weights. Surprisingly, POSS‐PMMA hybrids only with relatively high POSS content (～ 10 and 16 wt %) showed physical aging behavior as reveled by DSC study. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and self‐assembly of tadpole‐shaped organic/inorganic hybrid poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) containing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane via RAFT polymerization

Aminopropylisobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) was used to prepare a POSS‐containing reversible addition‐fragmentation transfer (RAFT) agent. The POSS‐containing RAFT agent was used in the RAFT polymerization of N‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) to produce tadpole‐shaped organic/inorganic hybrid Poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM). The results show that the POSS‐containing RAFT agent was an effective chain transfer agent in the RAFT polymerization of NIPAM, and the polymerization kinetics were found to be pseudo‐first‐order behavior. The thermal properties of the organic/inorganic hybrid PNIPAM were also characterized by differential scanning calorimetry. The glass transition temperature (T_g) of the tadpole‐shaped inorganic/organic hybrid PNIPAM was enhanced by POSS molecule. The self‐assembly behavior of the tadpole‐shaped inorganic/organic hybrid PNIPAM was investigated by atomic force microscopy and dynamic light scattering. The results show the core‐shell nanostructured micelles with a uniform diameter. The diameter of the micelle increases with the molecular weight of the hybrid PNIPAM. Surprisingly, the micelle of the tadpole‐shaped inorganic/organic hybrid PNIPAM with low molecular weight has a much bigger and more compact core than that with high molecular weight. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of POSS on thermomechanical properties of epoxy–POSS nanocomposites

The epoxy–POSS hybrid networks with POSS bound as pendant cages or with untethered POSS dispersed in the matrix were prepared and their structure was controlled. Formation of the hybrid network was followed by chemorheology. In situ development of physical crosslinks in the pregel stage of the network build-up was observed in case of the hybrids with tethered POSS. The complex effect of POSS on mechanical properties is manifested by either increase or decrease in rubbery modulus of different hybrids. This behavior reflects (a) reinforcement due to POSS hard aggregates, (b) diminishing of crosslinking density of the epoxy network by tethered monofunctional POSS and (c) physical crosslinking via POSS domains. Theories of network formation and rubbery elasticity as well as the model of mechanical behavior of particulate composites were applied to interpret the mechanical properties of the hybrids.     

Synthesis and Luminescent Property of Polycarbazole/Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane Nanocomposites

Polyvinylcarbazole（PVK） composites containing organic-inorganic hybrid polyhedral oligomeric silse-squioxane（POSS） PVK-POSS were prepared by free radical polymerization. POSS monomers reacted with vinylcarbazole and were completely dispersed at molecular level in PVK matrix and PVK-POSS nanocomposites display higher glass transition temperature（Tg） in comparison with neat PVK. Optical properties of PVK/POSS nanocomposites were investigated by UV-spectrum and PL-spectrum and the results show that the PVK-POSS nanoparticles have a good interface effect and improve color purity effectively. The maximum absorption wavelength bathochromically shifts gradually with the increasing of the content of POSS. The luminescent intensity becomes higher and higher with the increase of POSS content, and reaches its maximum luminescent intensity when the POSS content is 3% （mass fraction）, while some POSS-rich nanoparticles are present in matrix when contents of POSS are beyond 5%.     

Use of Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (POSS) in Drug Delivery,Photodynamic Therapy and Bioimaging

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) have attracted considerable attention in the design of novel organic-inorganic hybrid materials with high performance capabilities. Features such as their well-defined nanoscale structure, chemical tunability, and biocompatibility make POSS an ideal building block to fabricate hybrid materials for biomedical applications. This review highlights recent advances in the application of POSS-based hybrid materials, with particular emphasis on drug delivery, photodynamic therapy and bioimaging. The design and synthesis of POSS-based materials is described, along with the current methods for controlling their chemical functionalization for biomedical applications. We summarize the advantages of using POSS for several drug delivery applications. We also describe the current progress on using POSS-based materials to improve photodynamic therapies. The use of POSS for delivery of contrast agents or as a passivating agent for nanoprobes is also summarized. We envision that POSS-based hybrid materials have great potential for a variety of biomedical applications including drug delivery, photodynamic therapy and bioimaging.     

Liquid‐crystalline organic–inorganic hybrid polymers with functionalized silsesquioxanes

Liquid‐crystalline (LC) hybrid polymers with functionalized silsesquioxanes with various proportions of LC monomer were synthesized by the reaction of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) macromonomer with methacrylate monomer having an LC moiety under common free‐radical conditions. The obtained LC hybrid polymers were soluble in common solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, toluene, and chloroform, and their structures were characterized with Fourier transform infrared, ¹H NMR, and ²⁹Si NMR. The thermal stability of the hybrid polymers was increased with an increasing ratio of POSS moieties as the inorganic part. Because of the steric hindrance caused by the bulkiness of the POSS macromonomer, the number‐average molecular weight of the hybrid polymers gradually decreased as the molar percentage of POSS in the feed increased. Their liquid crystallinities were very dependent on the POSS segments of the hybrid polymers behaving as hard, compact components. The hybrid polymer with 90 mol % LC moiety (Cube‐LC90) showed liquid crystallinity, larger glass‐transition temperatures, and better stability with respect to the LC homopolymer. The results of differential scanning calorimetry and optical polarizing microscopy showed that Cube‐LC90 had a smectic‐mesophase‐like fine‐grained texture. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
