反应型POSS杂化纳米材料合成及其对聚合物的改性研究进展

多面体低聚笼型倍半硅氧烷(POSS)是一类分子内有机-无机杂化材料。该材料因为同时含有笼型的Si—O—Si核及键合在Si顶点上可设计的有机基团,所以兼具无机材料高的强度和耐温性以及有机基团灵活的可设计性,可广泛用于聚合物的改性。反应型POSS是指POSS上的有机基团与其改性聚合物有较高的反应活性,可以共价键合于聚合物分子链上,提高POSS在聚合物基体中的分散性,增强其界面粘接作用,更大程度提高聚合物的性能。本文综述了近年来反应型POSS的合成,POSS在聚合物增韧补强、耐热阻燃性能、介电性能改性等领域的研究进展,总结了POSS改善无机纳米粒子在聚合物改性体系分散性能方面的研究进展,并指出了今后的发展方向。

生物降解高分子/笼型倍半硅氧烷纳米复合材料的制备、结晶行为与性能研究进展

由于相对较高的价格、较慢的结晶速率、较弱的力学性能、较差的热稳定性、较窄的加工窗口和较慢的生物降解速率等自身的弱点,生物降解高分子材料并未如通用高分子材料一样得到广泛应用,制备以生物降解高分子为基体的纳米复合材料是有效的改性方法之一。本文结合作者近年来在生物降解高分子改性领域中的工作,对以笼型倍半硅氧烷(POSS)作为纳米填料改性左旋聚乳酸(PLLA)和聚ε-己内酯(PCL)的研究进行简单综述,POSS可有效提高PLLA和PCL基体的结晶速率和力学性能,并促进了聚合物基体的水解过程。

A solid-state NMR study of structure and segmental dynamics of poly(propylmethacryl-heptaisobutyl-pss)-co-styrene nanocomposites

The domain structure and mobility of poly(propylmethacryl-heptaisobutyl-pss)-co-styrene nanocomposites with different polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) contents were investigated by various solid-state NMR techniques in combination with XRD. The NMR relaxation time measurements suggested that increasing POSS content trended to mobilize the chains in PS unit. Although XRD results showed that POSS was well dispersed into the polymer matrix, 2D WISE NMR indicated that the dispersion of POSS into the polymer matrix led to a composite structure composed of rigid and densely packed PS domain and mobile and amorphous POSS domain. This implied that the size of the two domains was very small. 2D HETCOR NMR implied that the distance between PS network and POSS unit gradually decreased when the POSS content successively increased. The dispersed POSS domain size determined by 2D spin-diffusion NMR experiments was increased with the POSS loading, being about 3.0, 3.9, 6.0 nm for the POSS15, POSS25 and POSS45 nanocomposites, respectively.     

Surface energetics,dispersion, and nanotribomechanical behavior of POSS/PP hybrid nanocomposites

Hybrid organic–inorganic polymer nanocomposites incorporating polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanoparticles are of increasing interest for high performance materials applications. Octaisobutyl POSS/polypropylene nanocomposites were prepared at varying POSS concentrations via melt blending. The interplay of POSS molecular geometry, composition, and concentration in relation to the tribological, nanomechanical, surface energy, and bulk properties of the nanocomposites were investigated. Ultra‐low friction and enhanced hardness, modulus, and hydrophobicity were observed for the nanocomposite surfaces, with minimal changes in the bulk thermomechanical properties. Parallel AFM, SEM, TEM, and spectroscopic analyses demonstrated significant differences in POSS distribution and aggregation in the surface and the bulk, with preferential segregation of POSS to the surface. Additionally, contact angle studies reveal significant reduction in surface energy and increase in hysteresis with incorporation of POSS nanoparticles. The differences in bulk and surface properties are largely explained by the gradient concentration of POSS in the polymer matrix, driven by POSS/POSS and POSS/polymer interactions. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Crystallization behavior and morphological development of isotactic polypropylene blended with nanostructured polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane molecules

The thermal properties and morphological development of isothermally crystallized isotactic polypropylene (iPP) blended with nanostructured polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) molecules at very small loading of POSS were studied with differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), thermal gravimetric analysis, dynamic mechanical analysis, polarized optical microscopy (POM), and wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD). The result of DSC indicated that the crystallization rate of iPP increases with the increase in POSS contents during crystallization; moreover, the melting temperature of iPP/POSS nanocomposites slightly decreases, while the heat of fusion increases with the addition of POSS molecules at melting and remelting traces. The storage modulus and thermal stability, respectively, remarkably decrease, while the glass transition temperature of isothermally crystallized iPP/POSS nanocomposites increases slightly with the increase in POSS contents. The morphologies results of WAXD and POM show that the POSS molecules form about 35 nm sized nanocrystals and aggregate to form thread‐like and network structure morphologies, respectively, in the molten state even when the POSS content is very small. These results, therefore, suggest that the interaction force between the POSS molecules should be larger than the force between POSS molecules and iPP matrix; however, those interactions depend on the chain length of functionalized substituents on the POSS cage. Therefore, the POSS molecules aggregate forming nanocrystals and act as an effective nucleating agent for iPP and influence the thermal properties of iPP/POSS nanocomposites due to the shorter chain length of functionalized substituents, methyl, on the POSS cage. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polymerization and nanocomposites properties of multifunctional methylmethacrylate POSS

Thermally induced polymerization of multifunctional methylmethacrylate POSS (MMA‐POSS) was studied in this work for preparation of polymer/POSS nanocomposites. The polymerization of MMA‐POSS could be promoted with benzoyl peroxide (BPO). Self‐assembly of POSS into a layer‐by‐layer structure in the MMA‐POSS polymer (TP‐MMA‐POSS) is observed with a transmission electron microscopy. An ultra‐low‐k value of about 1.85 is measured with TP‐MMA‐POSS. In addition, polyimide‐POSS nanocomposites are also prepared. These nanocomposites demonstrate good homogeneity and enhanced mechanical properties. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 46: 5157–5166, 2008     

Enhancing electroluminescence performance of MEH-PPV based polymer light emitting device via blending with organosoluble polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes

Organosoluble polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) blending effect on electroluminescence properties of MEH-PPV based polymer light emitting device was investigated. Excellent compatibility and surface morphology of organosoluble POSS and MEH-PPV based composite films were observed using AFM spectroscopy. The surface roughness of POSS:MEH-PPV composite film increased with increasing POSS content. Interfacial area between the light-emitting layer and cathode was favorably enhanced for cathode electron-injection. MEH-PPV blended with POSS would create a better balance between the electron and hole fluxes for POSS:MEH-PPV composite film based devices. This led to greater current efficiency of the POSS:MEH-PPV composite film based device as compared to one with a light emitting layer of MEH-PPV. Organosoluble POSS concentration effects on the PL spectra and EL performances were also studied for the POSS:MEH-PPV composite film based polymer light emitting devices.     

Synthesis and morphology of rigid polyurethane foams with POSS as pendant groups or chemical crosslinks

This work reports on the preparation of polyurethane foams (PUFs) chemically modified by functionalized 1,2‐propanediolisobutyl polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane (PHI‐POSS) as pendant groups and octa(3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylbutyldimethylsiloxy) POSS (OCTA‐POSS) as chemical crosslinks. The resulting foams, which contain 0 to 15 wt% POSS (versus polyol), were characterized in terms of their structure, morphology, density, thermal conductivity, compressive strength, and water absorption. Fourier transform infrared‐attenuated total reflectance revealed good reaction rate between POSS and PUF. PHI‐POSS suppresses the formation of the hydrogen bonds in the soft phase. The composite foams with OCTA‐POSS showed a reduced number of cells and increased average area of foam cells in comparison with the PUF, while the addition of PHI‐POSS causes an increase in the number of cells of the foam as compared with the reference, and thus a reduction in the average area of cells. Scanning electron microscopy–energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy analysis revealed that POSS moieties form lamellae‐shaped crystals of different sizes, distributed homogeneously in the bulk (PHI‐POSS) or close to the self surfaces (OCTA‐POSS). The compressive strength of PUF/POSS hybrids in the direction parallel and perpendicular to the direction of foam rise is greater than the strength of the reference foam. PHI‐POSS improves monotonically the compressive strength in the studied loading range. About 5 wt% OCTA‐POSS also provides reinforcement, but further loading reverses the phenomenon. PUF/POSS hybrids absorb less water than the pristine foam because of an increase of foam density. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Surface modification of gold nanoparticles with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane and incorporation within polymer matrices

A new approach to achieve polymer‐mediated gold ferromagnetic nanocomposites in a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)‐containing random copolymer matrix has been developed. Stable and narrow distributed gold nanoparticles modified by 3‐mercaptopropylisobutyl POSS to form Au‐POSS nanoparticles are prepared by two‐phase liquid‐liquid method. These Au‐POSS nanoparticles form partial particle aggregation by blending with poly(n‐butyl methacrylate) (PnBMA) homopolymer because of poor miscibility between Au‐POSS and PnBMA polymer matrix. The incorporation the POSS moiety into the PnBMA main chain as a random copolymer matrix displays well‐dispersed gold nanoparticles because the POSS‐POSS interaction enhances miscibility between gold nanoparticles and the PnBMA‐POSS copolymer matrix. This gold‐containing nanocomposite exhibits ferromagnetic phenomenon at room temperature. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 47: 811–819, 2009     

Synthesis and characterization of novel PDMS nanocomposites using POSS derivatives as cross‐linking filler

We report the synthesis and characterization of novel elastomeric nanocomposites containing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) as both the cross‐linker and filler within a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer matrix. These polymer composites were prepared through the reaction of octasilane‐POSS (OS‐POSS) with vinyl‐terminated PDMS chains using hydrosilylation chemistry. In addition, larger super‐POSS cross‐linkers, consisting of two pendant hepta(isobutyl)POSS molecules attached to a central octasilane‐POSS core, were also used in the fabrication of the PDMS composites. The chemical incorporation of these POSS cross‐linkers into the PDMS network was verified by solid‐state ¹H magic angle spinning NMR. Based on dynamic mechanical analysis, the PDMS nanocomposites prepared with the octafunctional OS‐POSS cross‐linker exhibited enhanced mechanical properties relative to polymer systems prepared with the tetrafunctional TDSS cross‐linker at equivalent loading levels. The observed improvements in mechanical properties can be attributed to the increased dimensionality of the POSS cross‐linker. The PDMS elastomers synthesized from the larger super‐POSS molecule showed improved mechanical properties relative to both the TDSS and OS‐POSS composites due to the increased volume‐fraction of POSS filler in the polymer matrix. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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。
