A Nanocage for Nanomedicine: Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (POSS)

Ground‐breaking advances in nanomedicine (defined as the application of nanotechnology in medicine) have proposed novel therapeutics and diagnostics, which can potentially revolutionize current medical practice. Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) with a distinctive nanocage structure consisting of an inner inorganic framework of silicon and oxygen atoms, and an outer shell of organic functional groups is one of the most promising nanomaterials for medical applications. Enhanced biocompatibility and physicochemical (material bulk and surface) properties have resulted in the development of a wide range of nanocomposite POSS copolymers for biomedical applications, such as the development of biomedical devices, tissue engineering scaffolds, drug delivery systems, dental applications, and biological sensors. The application of POSS nanocomposites in combination with other nanostructures has also been investigated including silver nanoparticles and quantum dot nanocrystals. Chemical functionalization confers antimicrobial efficacy to POSS, and the use of polymer nanocomposites provides a biocompatible surface coating for quantum dot nanocrystals to enhance the efficacy of the materials for different biomedical and biotechnological applications. Interestingly, a family of POSS‐containing nanocomposite materials can be engineered either as completely non‐biodegradable materials or as biodegradable materials with tuneable degradation rates required for tissue engineering applications. These highly versatile POSS derivatives have created new horizons for the field of biomaterials research and beyond. Currently, the application of POSS‐containing polymers in various fields of nanomedicine is under intensive investigation with expectedly encouraging outcomes.

     

Polyurethane Networks Nanoreinforced by Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane

Summary: Octaaminophenyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OapPOSS) was used as a crosslinking agent together with 4,4^′‐methylenebis‐(2‐chloroaniline) to prepare polyurethane networks containing POSS. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were employed to characterize the POSS‐reinforced polyurethane. The POSS‐containing PU networks displayed enhanced glass transition temperatures (T_gs) and the storage moduli of the networks of the glassy state and rubber plateaus were also observed to be significantly higher than that of the control polyurethane although only a small amount of POSS was incorporated into the systems. The results can be ascribed to the significant nanoscale reinforcement effect of POSS cages on the polyurethane matrix. TGA results showed the thermal stability was also improved with incorporation of POSS into the system.

Synthesis and Thermal Characterizations of Pmma Nanocomposite Functionalized by Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane

Abstract

A novel polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane/polymethyl methacrylate (POSS/ PMMA) hybrid nanocomposite was synthesized by using potassium persulfate and sodium dodecyl sulfate as the initiator and emulsifier, respectively. The structures of prepared nanocomposites were characterized with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, laser particle size analysis, and X-ray diffraction. The thermal properties of the POSS/PMMA nanocomposites were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results indicate that POSS could be incorporated into the PMMA matrix at molecular lever and the incorporation of POSS molecules can improve the thermal stability of PMMA.

Thermal and Surface Properties of Phenolic Nanocomposites Containing Octaphenol Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane

Summary: We have synthesized a new polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) containing eight phenol functional groups and copolymerized it with phenol and formaldehyde to form novolac‐type phenolic/POSS nanocomposites exhibiting high thermal stabilities and low surface energies. Our DSC results indicate that the glass transition temperature of these nanocomposites increased initially upon increasing their POSS content, but then decreased at POSS content above 10 wt.‐%, presumably because of the formation of relatively low molecular weight species and POSS aggregation as evidenced from MALDI‐TOF mass analyses. Our TGA analyses indicated that the 5‐wt.‐%‐mass‐loss temperatures (T_d) increased significantly upon increasing the POSS content because the incorporation of the POSS led to the formation of an inorganic protection layer on the nanocomposite's surface. XPS and contact angle data provided positive evidence to back up this hypothesis. In addition, contact angle measurements indicated a significant enhancement in surface hydrophobicity after increasing the POSS content.

Wettability of Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane Nanostructured Polymer Surfaces

Summary: Some model structures of waterborne polyurethane anionomers containing various amounts (ca. 3–20%) of a diol functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanofiller were prepared. X‐ray diffraction showed the formation of a nanocrystalline structure in all copolymers considered. Static contact angle measurements indicated a significant enhancement of surface hydrophobicity as well as reduction in surface tension components even at the least POSS level (3%). Dynamic contact angle cycles allowed the evaluation of the hysteresis, which was found to be large and kinetically increasing in POSS‐modified samples. Film topography was analyzed by AFM, showing a more pronounced roughness in the nanostructured surface.

Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (POSS) Nanoscale Reinforcement of Thermosetting Resin from Benzoxazine and Bisoxazoline

Summary: The reaction between octaaminophenyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OAPS) and 2,2′‐(1,3‐phenylene)‐bis(4,5‐dihydro‐oxazoles) (PBO) over different temperature ranges was confirmed by FT‐IR spectroscopy. The OAPS was used to modify benzoxazine (BZ) in the presence of PBO. The novel polybenzoxazine (PBZ)‐PBO/OAPS hybrid nanocomposite was prepared by solvent methods. Dynamic mechanical analyses indicated that the nanocomposites exhibited much higher T_g values than the pristine PBZ and PBZ‐PBO resin, and the storage modulus of the nanocomposites was maintained at higher temperatures, although only a small amount of OAPS was incorporated into the systems. Dynamic thermogravimetric analysis showed that the thermal stability of the hybrid was also improved by the inclusion of OAPS.

基于多面体低聚倍半硅氧烷体系的一种独特发光现象

实验发现将2种POSS（多面体低聚倍半硅氧烷）单体氨苯基异丁基POSS和八异丁基POSS置于四氢呋喃搅拌加热后，原来不发光的POSS单体表现出较强的发光。为解释这个发光现象，我们对溶剂处理前后的POSS材料进行了结构和发光性能表征，通过¹HNMR、²⁹Si NMR及红外光谱等方法表征了POSS材料在THF中加热处理前后的结构，实验结果表明，这两种POSS在处理前后结构几乎没有变化，可以保持完整的笼状结构，但处理后的POSS分子¹H NMR谱中含有少量的溶剂峰。FTIR结果也表明处理前后的POSS结构几乎不变；我们也通过XPS表征了处理后的POSS中Si原子的价态，结果表明其价态未发生变化。结合这两种POSS材料处理前后的发光性能以及结构表征结果，我们认为，这种发光现象可能与POSS的吸附效应有关，即溶剂分子进入POSS笼中，形成POSS/溶剂加合物，从而改变了原来的POSS的电子结构，使得相应的POSS材料出现发光现象。
